- Visitors from the Arkana Galaxy. by Vukotic, Dusan,film director.; Samardzic, Ljubisa,actor.; Zulová, Lucie,actor.; Potocnjak, Zarko,actor.; Deaf Crocodile Films (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Ljubisa Samardzic, Lucie Zulová, Zarko PotocnjakOriginally produced by Deaf Crocodile Films in 1981.Imagine if Troma Films had been hired to make a Sid & Marty Krofft Saturday morning kids’ show, and if you have some idea of the unspeakable strangeness of VISITORS FROM THE ARKANA GALAXY, a truly gonzo Croatian sci-fi / fantasy about a struggling writer, Robert (Zarko Potocnjak), who dreams up a story of gold-skinned alien androids named Andra, Targo and Ulu from a distant planet. Incredibly, his fictional alien creations become reality, causing chaos in his relationship with his girlfriend Biba (Lucie Zulová) and threatening his small seaside village. The alluring lead robot Andra (Ksenia Prohaska) looks like H.R. Giger re-designed the Maschinenmensch from Fritz Lang’s Metropolis; watch for the scene where she pours hot coffee and cream out of her fingertips. But for sheer jawdropping insanity, nothing rivals the Mumu Monster -- created for the film by legendary Czech animator Jan Svankmajer -- a rubber-suited, multi-tentacled creation that destroys a wedding party, ripping off heads and spouting plumes of toxic green smoke while a blind accordion player blithely plays his squeezebox. Visitors was a rare feature film from animator Dusan Vukotic (1927-1998), best known for his stunning UPA-style cartoon shorts including “Cow On The Moon” (1959) and the Oscar-winning “The Substitute” (1961).Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Comedy.; Science fiction.;
