Review of Kin-dza-dza!

Kin-dza-dza! (1986)
8/10
Mad Max meets Zardoz?
23 January 2008
A quirky movie, currently viewable on Google videos with English subtitles.

Vladimir and Gedovan are thrown together onto a strange planet. They struggle to survive in a low-key, cerebral and absurdist romp on Pluk, a desert planet.

Social structures are lampooned, post-apocalyptic survival methods are skewered, and the heroes try to get home without becoming lost within the expectations of others.

Mesmerizing and possibly low budget, the effects aren't any too dazzling. But the script and the heart of the characters carries the film brilliantly. Thought provoking and at times laugh out loud funny. If you like eclectic and unusual films, Kin Dza Dza is a great addition to any collection!
