A satire on Communist corruption in 80s Eastern Europe. This was was acted and shot well and everything, but it’s messaging fell pretty flat. It’s also marketed as a comedy but it wasn’t funny at all.

SWITCH.

The story is one that has achieved almost folkloric proportions for Jarchovsky, as the writer pulls from family tales of life during an oppressive time to craft a winningly acerbic script, but still views these characters with a certain level of compassion. And, pleasingly, with its final shot (which, yes, can be seen coming from a mile away), the film doesn't forget to turn this all back around on us as well.
