Finally time to start my themed reviews - "non-western westerns". This series dovetails beautifully into the next - even more obscure theme - after about 3 or 4 more reviews.
"The Marathon Family" aka "The Marathon Family Takes a Victory Lap" is an extremely funny and disturbingly prophetic film from pre-breakup 1982 Yugoslavia. Highly recommended!
I've been informed from the clips I included that the subtitles are generally workmanlike but apparently miss many of the more idiomatic and transgressive expressions. Hopefully Kino or another US company will pick this up for a domestic release similar to the recent release of "Underground" - which I hope to pick up and may review in the future.
Late getting caught up on posting here, but the youtube channel is always current...
This Indonesian supernaturally tinged neo-noir movie is more than worth the effort to track down and view. See my video and notes on the video page regarding a cash prize. The Cinéma de l'Obscur designation represents films that I consider extremely difficult to locate and view...subject to change.
Details for my $$$ contest - as noted in my video: - If you have purchased this DVD or a legitimate release with English subtitles anywhere else in the world in the last couple of months (and you can provide a link) or you are able to find it online and buy it – I will send cash money, via paypal to pay you for the cost of your disc plus the shipping you paid, up to $50 US to the first person who can show me a photo of their disc with a dated receipt and link to an in-stock listing at any e-tailer that ships internationally. The fastest way is probably to DM me via twitter or Gab, but frankly I don’t get that many comments here either and I read every one.
