Abdulladzhan, ili posvyashchaetsya Stivenu Spilbergu 1991
1h 29min | Comedy, Sci-Fi | 1 December 2001 (Japan)
User review:
This non-budget feature film is a kind of spoof on Spielberg’s E.T., made with “Plan 9” attitude. It’s is about an alien fallen down at the fields of Uzbek kolkhoz (agro-cooperative). Hence, many funny and bizarre things and accidents here and then. But the most hilarious thing there is in Russian voice-over made with a strong Uzbek accent. This a kind of sweat-hearted satire about decline of Soviet era in Central Asia.
