Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
小鸡电影 现在大家都玩起怀旧 是谁岁月静好啦？
陪表妹一起去看的，甚至迟到了几分钟，还挺好看的，故事教育性也不错，好可爱！
多一星给下坡倒车，电影没有海报好看，主演一行的演技好像入不了导演的眼，所以导演拼命给配角老戏骨特写镜头，好怪好突兀
看起来很随意的样子，反派无脑低幼，只能说是个半成品吧。
好像是昆汀的《好莱坞往事》和布拉纳的《贝尔法斯特》的结合。第一次看PTA的片子，还是和近两年奥斯卡一票电影一样的特点，就是很私人化。男女主以及经历的各种事件都是导演对于周边人经历的一个总结，所以影片的观感又一次割裂了，像一段一段的小品。好在对于那个年代的还原挺够味儿的，跟《贝尔法斯特》不相上下，也对于那段时代共情不起来，不过黑胶（甘草）唱片（披萨）yyds
小艺真的太太太可爱啦 一开始都没发现是虞书欣配的 好厉害！
beautiful。看了一下其他评论，哇哦：）
成年的自己爱上未成年的自己。卡车没油了，只好仰赖后视镜倒车全程屏气凝神。不断想驶出小镇的Alana，却终要归顺重力倒回Gary的身旁。毫无他选的时代宿命。就像我们经历了这个，经历了那个，却毫无意外地怀念起青春时的黄金年代。美国梦的后夜就像大/麻眩晕，背后有无数只手掐住想认清时间感的人，她们是女人，也是电影人。总之，我爱电影里那些离心力般的荒唐力感，因为电影与成长的“历史”总会如向心力将我们拖入泥沼。
为啥《甘草披萨》被吹的这么过，看完无感，又臭又长，上世纪的爱情套路，根本感动不了人。
为什么不是Danielle Haim来演？？？
上岁数了 正式对pta脱敏 （把歇斯底里当幽默来源 把压抑当做存在主义表现的答案 就 真的 够了（幼稚..
優點明顯。首先小馬們都很美。其次表達主題在當今世界很需要從小對小朋友滲透：消除偏見，隔閡，追求相互溝通和理解，要有大愛大胸懷。
好喜欢PTA不紧不慢塑造人物的感觉啊 而且能游刃有余处理复杂的文本（Ben Safdie好会演哦哈哈
歌好听。第一次特地去看中配，第一次做了一匹马的梦女🤗
people all fucked up
全片两人被问及数次“ta是你女朋友/男朋友吗？”，前面所有的回答都是“不是”，到了最后一次女主被问到后她说“是，或者不是”，呐，当你不确定是不是的时候，爱情就发生了。
说到水床，有一个朋友在她重要考试前一天入住考场附近旅馆，一打开门才发现自己定的是水床房……
我很不满意
can't say i totally get it，但从中看出了青春，看出了迷惘，看出了疯狂。
没意思。男猪毫无少年感，女猪长相一言难尽…… 2o22.3.11于田村山南路
