A radical hybrid of spy, sci-fi, Western, and even horror genres, Mu musters the creative audacity—make that recklessness—to take up within its absurdly impossible “collage narrative” agency the profoundly serious issue of the militarization of space. Mostly based on historical fact, the occult rituals of 3 seminal figures in post-War California (Jet Propulsion Laboratary founder Jack Parsons, L. Ron Hubbard, and Marjorie Cameron), newly-shot live-action footage is intercut with both fiction and non-fiction archival material to weave a dense, farcical tale of mind-control, subterranean intrigue, and aerospace speculation …and in pulp-serial form to boot!
