Review of Kin-dza-dza! (1986) by Jonathan S — 15 Oct 2010
Kin-Dza-Dza is a rather strange, but very fascinating and philosophical, not to mention unusual Soviet science-fiction movie from 1986. The special effects are really basic but as already said by others, it matters little when the main value instead lies in great acting, atmosphere, story and message.
The movie is quite a journey through ingredients such as time-travelling, societal structures and cultural misunderstandings as two Soviet citizens by mistake are being teleported from Moscow to the planet Plyuk where they find a post-apocalyptic steam punk-inspired dystopia.
Very interesting movie if you are a fan of slow, epic longrunners in the genre of low-tech Sci-Fi flicks. And, it is Russian ;).
