Featured review
Arbsurd comedy which is not funny, but a great example of cringe movies. It could be compared with Monty Python, but not funny, with Jodorowsky surrealism, but with much worse psychodelics.
Banal dichotomy of good and evil, 0 and 1, classic and jazz, black and white, men vs women is deconstructed in a form of lengthy and dull parody of a cosmic opera with light sabers set in rural scenery. It lacks development of characters, story progression and accessible humor. Any potential message is obscured by its nearly incomprehensible cinematic language and weak satire.
This philosophical battle between good and evil within human nature, which nowdays is more important than ever, could be imagined by viewers with the screen turned off, without any loss of emotions and meanings.
