Well what do you know there are alot of individuals out there who think Vern is an ignorant fuck. He doesn’t know the films of World Cinema, only the latest hollywood crap or at best, the art house darlings. And I mean yeah, most of those individuals are right.
HOWEVER, I must point out that this is my second review IN A ROW of a movie that’s not in English. And this time, most of you motherfuckers probaly haven’t even HEARD of this movie. I mean how many of you could even NAME a movie from Macedonia, let alone review one?
Ha! I scoff at you, because RIGHT THIS SECOND I am in the process of reviewing the Macedonian film GOODBYE, 20TH CENTURY. For your information Macedonia is a country in the Balkans, which, I mean I couldn’ tell you exactly where that is. But there’s war and shit. It’s not pretty.
Here are the words that people would use to describe the style of this picture:
- dark
- arty
- apocalyptic
- surreal
I see a little bit of Jodorowsky in this picture, and a little bit of City of Lost Children. What it is about is an Antonia Banderas lookin fella in the year 2019, which is sort of your typical Mad Max style post-apocalyptic wasteland type place. You know – desert, weirdly dressed punk savages, people crying because there are no trees. (more…)
