A definitive 6.4/10 rating for a film that redefined the boundaries of cult cinema. Na Lunu s peresadkoi remains a cornerstone of transgressive art.
Honestly, that depends on your patience. If you like your movies fast and loud, skip this one immediately. You will hate it. But if you have a soft spot for grainy, old-school curiosities that feel like they were pulled out of a time capsule buried in someone’s basement, you might actually enjoy the ride. It’s got a weird, lopsided energy that keeps you watching even when you aren't sure why.
The whole thing feels like a space-age daydream. Or maybe a nightmare? It’s hard to tell, and that’s part of the fun. Mikhail Fadeev holds the screen with this intense, quiet stare that makes you wonder if he knows more than the script actually lets on.
There is this one scene in the middle where they stop for what feels like an eternity. The dialogue gets so sparse it basically vanishes. It felt a bit like watching La Paloma, where the silence does more heavy lifting than the actors.
The sets are… something else. They have this homemade, cardboard-and-glue aesthetic that screams ambition but whispers budget. I kept noticing a loose wire near the edge of the frame. Nobody fixed it. It stayed there for three minutes. I couldn't look away from it.
Some of the supporting cast seem like they’re in an entirely different movie. Natalya Rostova brings this sudden urgency that clashes with the slow, almost sleepy rhythm of the main lead. It’s not smooth. It’s not polished. But it feels real in a way that modern, slick stuff never does.
It’s not a masterpiece. Let’s be clear. It’s got these weird gaps where the logic just sort of… evaporates. If you’re looking for a tight, logical narrative, you’re in the wrong place. But there’s a strange, dusty heart to this thing. It feels like a project made by people who cared more about the atmosphere than the math. 🌙
I left the screen feeling like I’d just woken up from a nap. The kind where you’re not sure what year it is. Maybe that’s the point? Or maybe they just ran out of film.
