So, 'Monkey, Ostrich and Grave'... it’s quite the unique piece from 2017. The atmosphere is oddly surreal, with this blend of dark humor and bleak reality, very fitting for a video blogger's perspective in a troubled region. The pacing can feel a bit off, almost dreamlike at times, which I think works in its favor. It’s not your typical UFO encounter story; the practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing that raw, gritty vibe. The performance of the lead, Genadi Gorin, really pulls you in—there’s something about the way he navigates this bizarre juxtaposition of his online persona and the harsh world around him. It leaves you thinking about the absurdity of life in such a context.
This film's distribution seems to have been quite limited, which adds to its mystique among collectors. There are whispers about different cuts existing, though most copies out there are the standard release. Its scarcity makes it a point of interest for those who appreciate films that challenge conventional storytelling, especially in how they tackle serious themes with an offbeat approach. Keep an eye out for any special screenings or festival showings, as those might be your best bet for experiencing its unique charm.
