Goodbye, 20th Century

Santa kills the human universe!

An apocalyptic story from southeast Europe. Santa Claus destroys the world! Immortal people! What could be wrong?? A fine example of psychotronic cinema in a great edition from VS, superb restoration and features and a very Mad Max-esque artwork delivers a singular movie experience.

Sci-Fi Absurdist Political Allegory

A Macedonian sci-fi absurdist political allegory with touches of surrealism. Probably one of my favorite blind buys from VS. Gilliam-esque in its use of humor. Takes you down the rabbit hole for those who like a symbolic psychological journey.

OK, but not great

The movie is presented in 2 parts. In part 1 the main character, who can't be killed, goes on a quest to find mortality. He finds it without any great difficulty. The plot is underdeveloped and lacking in action, drama, intrigue, or suspense. The main character does not face any real hardships or challenges. The second part is set at a funeral, and it is an incoherent chaotic mess. Time spent on this part would have been better allocated to improving the first part. On the plus side, cinemaphotography was very good. Acting, costumes, and sets were also good.
