interkosmos

brilliant fake documentary about the east german space colonization/interplantery archive programme of the middle 1970s. you eventually find out what is going on, but it's goofy to say more than that.
i have a real thing for soviet/east european 60s kitsch, particularly the hip sci-fi stuff--you know, the mosfilms look--solaris being an example that attains a level of genius rarely seen by us mortals--the musicals collected in "east side story" being the kitschy hip side. the look of this film is perfect. PERFECT.
closest thing i've seen to it is viktor pelevin's novel "omon ra" which is also brilliant.
o yeah--there are footnotes at the end of the film.
and the music and sound are excellent throughout.
track this film down.
see it.
that is all.
