Kin-Dza-Dza

I finally got around to watching Kin-Dza-Dza again and I would definitely reccomend anyone who has minute to watch it. It's pretty freaking amazing as both a typical cyber-punk film and as a good philisophical tool. Throughout it, one can't help but see the analogues between our society and that of what one would consider the barbarous culture portrayed in the film. It is in Russian, but there are English subtitles out for it. Some key philisophical points that I was able to gather from it without any indepth analysis were social classes, socialism, capitalism, technology(ism)?, etc. A big thing I wonder about though, is if the time of the film's creation and that of it being in Russia had any impact on the philisophical viewpoints. I base this questioning off of the massive amounts of social change around the fall of the USSR and considering that the film came out in 1986, I gather that they probably coincide. If anyone else does happen to read this AND has watched the movie, I wouldn't mind hearing your opinions on it.
