For anyone who liked Silo, I'd recommend a quirky sci-fi from 1980's Poland called Sexmission [1]. Similarly, they live underground and try to escape. Fascinating ending too, and I wonder how it matches with what will happen in Silo.

- wslh 3y agoThank you very much. East European movies are underrepresented in the "global community" despite their productivity. In the vein of your recommendations but from Spain I recommend "El milagro de P. Tinto" [1], mainly satire with its ups and downs but recommended.

- 6510 3y agoKin-dza-dza! takes a bit of getting into and it has it's weak moments but there are few movies that made me laugh so hard. Everyone should watch "Just Imagine (1930)" it takes place in the distant future 1980. It is so full of original concepts we know from [much] later movies. I ran into the short film "Slice of Life" the other day. It was rather impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eDQ2SSsmEk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eDQ2SSsmEk
- atraac 3y agoIt's baffling to me how almost all recent reviews just downgrade the movie to "it's just sexist" while it was one of the greatest Polish comedies of all time, made in 1984 when all the woke bullcrap wasn't everywhere as it is today.
- bigfudge 3y agoWhy polarise things even more like this? I agree with you (in partperhaps) and think it’s often fine to like 70s and 80s films for what they are without ignoring the fact that values and mores have changed. 1970s attitudes to women at work or sexual violence against women were really different. It’s not woke bullshit to think things have changed for the good. If your point was that ahistorical readings of literature can be killjoy then more people could probably get on board.
