Budd Wilkins Slant Magazine Bittersweet satire posing as postapocalyptic science fiction, Georgiy Daneliya’s Kin-dza-dza! has as much to say about today as it does the last gasps of the Soviet Union. Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Leon K Definitely different. In the version I watched, (via Amazon Prime), the subtitles were terrible, coming in well after the audio, on the screen too fast, and sometimes in the same mix as another characters. Even with all that, this movie was so worth it. A story of class and longing just to be home. Fantastic acting, visuals, story. Ku! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Vladislav B Ku! A gritty, subtle, hilarious and weird social commentary sci fi comedy about two guys who accidentally are transported to an alien desert planet. They befriend some local musicians and seek a way back to earth while getting to know the local culture and places. Became a classic quickly. It contagiously adds it's invented words to your vocabulary. Which it did throughout the Soviet Union after release. Slower and longer than modern films. Better if you understand Russian of course. There is an anime remake also, which came out in 2013, which is shorter. As many slower films are, it gets better once you are deep in to the first half. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review g j I think it loses something in translation. I found it weird, mostly annoying and a bit of a slog to get through... its certainly unique though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Jesse M Hilariously bizarre. There's nothing quite like this Kin Dza Dza!. One of the most memorable and funny films I've ever seen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/08/23 Full Review Courtney K idk; i couldn't finish it. i guess i didn't get it - it was just weird; i didn't laugh once. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/23 Full Review Great Russian futuristic-steampunk movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/18/22 Full Review Read all reviews
