Ku! Kin-dza-dza

[Machine Translation] The ultimate cult film "Kin the Planet of the Wonders" (1986), which drew 15.7 million viewers in the Soviet Union, enthralled moviegoers around the world, and is considered on the same level as "2001: A Space Odyssey" (Stanley Kubrick, 1968) and "Solaris" (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1972). Director Georgi Daneliya himself has created a completely animated film based on his own "new interpretation". The live-action version, which was made in the midst of the socialist regime, has been reconstructed in a retro-feeling animation with a touch of science fiction and a sense of the future. The floating bell-shaped spaceship that symbolizes the "Kin The" world is depicted with an unusual realism that Georgy could not reproduce in the live-action version, but only in the animation. While the live-action version was criticized for its ironic depiction of the Soviet political system of the time, "Koo! Kin Za Za" caricatured and satirized contemporary Russia, which was undergoing a major transformation. Director Georgi Daneliya passed away in 2019 at the age of 88 after completing this film, making it his last film. -- Chizhov, a renowned cellist, and Tolik, a young aspiring DJ, encounter a barefooted alien in pajamas on a snow-covered Moscow boulevard. They are unexpectedly warped to the planet Plyuk in the Kin the Za nebula. It is a place covered in desert as far as the eye can see, where classes are divided according to the color of the pants they wear. It's almost like "Coo! (nouns, adjectives, adverbs, exclamations, etc.) are the only words that exist among the aliens, and the two begin their struggle to return to Earth.
