Pyotr Lutsik: The Outskirts
excellent complex russian film---a parody of socialist realist films (complete with fabulous boy-gets-tractor ending)---a kind of dark story about a group of peasant men/possible sociopaths from the urals who had lived on a collective farm ("the homeland") who find one day that their land has been sold from under them--so they embark on a journey to set things right. which requires killing alot of people. surreal and funny and peculiar and everything else that you'd want from a film you find yourself watching on a saturday night instead of going out.
