^ Then how about:

The Commissar (1967)
Writer/Director: Aleksandr Askoldov
Based on a story by: Vasili Grossman
One of the rare films where the Soviet censors ordered the negatives to be destroyed.

My personal rating: 9.5 (or 10)

The Twilight's Last Gleaming, one of the more radical American films of the 70s:


"You had to attack civilians, the people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple: to force the public to turn to the state to ask for greater security." - Gladio agent Vincenzo Vinciguerra, March 2001

“If you stop still and look at things… the world looks absolutely crazy to you. And it is crazy, by God!… From the time you wake up until the moment you go to bed it’s all a lie, all a sham and a swindle.” - Henry Miller

Thanks! I'll watch Commissar later together with Red Psalm.

A surreal collection of images and sounds from the Superpower Disneyland in the last 60 years:

Sounds promising. It's by Neill Blomkamp of the District 9 fame. OTOH, Prometheus too sounded promising...
