English My platonic cinematic love. An extremely original and downright hyper-fun ode to a beautiful and untouched part of the world and its specific order, which is cleverly contrasted with an advanced society ruled by chaos and crime. The story has an amazing pace, the interweaving of all the plot lines is a joy to watch, and all the formal components, from the awesome genre soundtrack to the irresistible and very apt "quick-motion" treatment of some scenes, contribute greatly to the surprising but overwhelming quality of this magical, balanced and brilliant adventure that gives me genuine fits of laughter every year. And I’m incredibly grateful for that. 100% ()

English Three Sexy Girls in Tirol without three naked Swedish women and without Tyrol. But with a naked bushman and a lecture about how the bushmen rock and we're the demons. Without nostalgia or knowledge of, say, the legendary dubbing, it's worth a gunshot to the head, which I’m not giving a lower rating for the same condescending reasons with which this film looks at indigenous tribes.
