Azerbaijan Film - Absurdistan (2008)


Mildly surrealist rather than a straight up fantasy, the humor comes from a Lysistrata type sex-strike by the females of a disheveled small little town where the men refuse to work.  The women, fed up with the lazy men, demand that the men fix a broken pipe so that they can get water and until they do, no sex!

I'm not sure I could describe a single character in this film, but character isn't really the point; the situation is.  The jokes come and the jokes go and I smiled and laughed at parts and didn't feel the film ever really lagged . A solid B film.
