  Kin-dza-dza! 1986

  ★★★½ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  Everything is tied together with a whimsical score, alien dialogue and a certain charm and honesty which seems to set the pace of minute by minute discovery. Confusion? Isolation? Understanding? Survival instinct? Control? Friendship? So much is explored in this odd but fascinating film.

  It wasn’t perfect, some parts were a bit…
