“This is a beautiful musical movie. Here is a successful combination of Azerbaijani modern and folklore music. Azerbaijani composer Polad Byul-Byul-ogly plays and sings his own songs in this movie.

Although you will see highway robbers, a lots of gunfire scene, this is a movie about the kindness. Even the inveterate robber can’t kill a singer after he listen to his song. If you’re out of humor watch this movie.” (IMDB)Read More »

Quote:
Definitely worth looking! This movie presents highlights of Domanovic’s stories, Nusic’s dramas and a lot of original humor, all rolled into great, but not widely known film. However, it has the same fate as other non-low-minded and non-sexual-humor movies which is to be misunderstood by majority of the people who have seen it, or to be more precise, just throw a glance on it. Lazar Ristovski is playing a role of story guide, stranger finding himself in a country that should be his fatherland, but is to the most bizarre boundaries spoiled and ruined by actual government. The country is ruled by mindless dictators, old fellows disconnected from reality, having no touch with the people themselves. The people are not only ones who suffer from their lunacy, the police and dictators themselves are shown as total misfortunates. My recommendations: if you find Orwell’s works interesting and are a fan of Monty Python, you have to see this movie. Of course, if you are capable of finding it…Read More »

Synopsis:
The Way Things Go (German: Der Lauf der Dinge) is a film about a Heath Robinson-/Rube Goldberg-type machine. It was created in 1987 by the Swiss artist duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss. The machine is in a warehouse, about 100 feet long, and incorporates materials such as tires, trash bags, ladders, soap, oil drums, and gasoline. Fire and pyrotechnics are probably the most common elements used. The film is nearly 29 minutes, 45 seconds long, but much of that is waiting for something to burn, or slowly slide down a ramp.Read More »
