Review of Chief Zabu (2016) by Matzohboy — 13 Nov 2016
Chief Zabu is spectacular and hilarious, absurdist satire at its very best. Possibly the most independent movie ever made, the fact that the film was shot in 1986 yet completed only months ago is nothing short of astonishing, giving it an air of complete autonomy and uniqueness; I've never seen anything like it and doubt anyone else has, either.
The guerilla, micro-budget filmmaking style is years ahead of its time, as are its characters and themes, all weirdly relevant to the very latest issues of today, political and otherwise. The staccato banter and razor wit are comically arresting and delightful, the period art direction flawless and authentic without feeling dated or condescending, which is very rare indeed.
