Night Flight invites you into the the existential weirdness of the wonderfully loopy Soviet-era sci-fi comedy KIN-DZA-DZA, recently restored by Mosfilm for its first-ever U.S. release by Deaf Crocodile. Two average Muscovites are teleported across the universe to the planet Pluke, a Tatooine-like desert world whose inhabitants are hilariously noncommunicative and where common wooden matches are tremendously valuable. A deadpan, absurdist mixture of Kurt Vonnegut, Monty Python, Samuel Beckett and Jodorowsky's never-made Dune where alien cultures are even more haphazard and WTF? than our own, the film is also a savage satire of bureaucratic idiocy and dysfunction no matter what political system you're living under - or what planet you're living on.
