Reviews

acw202 The film is a pre-Enlightenment allegory, or the description of one thing under the guise of another. Certainly not social utopianism or realism. The young woman tempts the mortal laws by defying custom and the material world. She wants to follow her spirit and a craving for Shakespeare and the world of Orpheus. She is compelled to bring forth the child . . . or the longing of her soul. She suffers various hardships and adventures on her journey, sometimes comically and ineptly aided by her hapless buffoon father and idiot-savant brother. Only when she leaves the earth can the mysterious birth occur in the coupling of the female with the male.

stefanhoeffllin Mamlakat lives together with her father, her mentally handicapped brother Nasreddin and her sister. Her mother died when she was born. She´s dreaming of the great wide world. As a traveling group of theatre actors arrives in their little town, she´s spents a night with one of them. Actually she don´t even know his face or his name. One day she notices that she got pregnant and tells her father about it. They decide to find the unknown father of her unborn child. A long journey begins... This movie will make you laugh and cry! It´s funny, charming but also tragic. Watch it, you will love it !!!

Steph-65 "Luna Papa" is a nice and also funny film but some scenes seem quite strange. Sometimes, me and my friends just looked at each other, a big "?" in the face. Some scenes are comparable to what the French call "absurd theater" but the end (about from the moment when the cow fell down) is not "absurd" but stupid.

snadman if we'd missed this film, we'd have had to fly to russia or sweden to see it. what an expensive night at the cinema that would prove. (is there a distributor out there reading this? we've got a big *HINT* stick we'd like to hit you with.)we laughed and gaped through the entire film. we saw it at the toronto international film festival. mr khudojnazarov fielded questions after the premier. we asked about the scene with the cow; we believe he called it something akin to "an act of god".please, see it and promote charming, intelligent directors who make charming, intelligent movies.ps, you'll find out what happened to manni after lola ran with her DM.
