Levan Gabriadze, Stanislav LyubshinOriginally produced by Deaf Crocodile Films in 1986.Imagine Andrei Tarkovsky circa Solaris directing Douglas Adams’ "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy" and you’ll come close to the existential weirdness of the wonderfully loopy Soviet-era sci-fi comedy KIN-DZA-DZA! Two average Muscovites – a plainspoken construction foreman (Stanislav Lyubshin) and a Georgian violin student (Levan Gabriadze) – encounter an odd homeless man on the street who asks, “Tell me the number of your planet in the Tentura?” In a flash, they’re teleported across the universe to the planet Pluke in the Kin-Dza-Dza galaxy – a Tatooine-like desert world whose inhabitants are hilariously noncommunicative (their main words are “ku” for good and “kyu” for very bad) and where common wooden matches are tremendously valuable. A deadpan, absurdist mixture of Kurt Vonnegut, Monty Python, Samuel Beckett and Jodorowsky’s never-made Dune where alien cultures are even more haphazard and WTF? than our own, KIN-DZA-DZA! is also a savage satire of bureaucratic idiocy and dysfunction no matter what political system you’re living under – or what planet you’re living on.Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Foreign films.; Motion pictures.; Comedy films.; Science fiction.; Cult films.; Satire.; Motion pictures--Russia (Federation).; Outer space.; Science fiction films.;
