Review of Absurdistan (2008) by Mark A — 24 Sep 2009
A delightful absurdist fantasy of a young couple and their desire to come together while the stars auger well for their relationship. Somewhat of a Russian folk tale of how the women force the men of their village to repair the village water supply.
Do not look for logic here. It is sorely lacking. But there is a bit of fun and the young woman, Aya (Kristyna Malerova) is an especially nice bit of eye candy. The landscape is stark and harsh, and the villagers barely eke out a living in a place that is left unclaimed by any country.
Yet even here, passions can get inflamed and young love flourishes. Three stars and worth the view, if only for an introduction to another culture.
