Summary: British black comedy pivoting on a mysterious stranger called Tomas Katz who arrives on Earth the day before armageddon.
Quote :
(IMBB) This movie defies description, categorization, genre placement. There is simply almost nothing like it - a clever mind trip that relentlessly weaves the plot in a neck-breaking-paced surreal, absurdest, postmodern apocalyptic story with a great soundtrack, trippiest image sequences, great sense of humor, and deep paranoia and darkness. Despite using seemingly gimmicky effects and tricks, very low budget and mostly black-and-white shooting, this movie feels so well done and so well narrated, they don't hinder it at all as they would many other movies - instead, as if on the height of its "genre", this movie absolutely flourishes with them, as the very best silent movies do on their own unhindered by the absence of sound. A must see, but also definitely a "not-for-everyone-er" (Sashamalchik, San Francisco)
Well... mmm... that was odd What a strange movie! But funny I didn't understand much of it, dont think there is much to get lol Absurd, surreai, non sense, bizard... very artistic in the same time and experimental. Lots of technic and different things in this movie. Maybe a bit too much things going on to really totally get into it, more confusing than anything else but that probably was the point: confusing people lots of funny absurd moments. Only to be watched if you like absurd sense of humour. Also a few movie references hidden here and there
Not bad
