Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
一部带着黑色幽默的荒诞恐怖片，试图传达“尊重他人自由选择”的价值观
轻微血腥。挺幽默的，对素食者和虚伪的讽刺。
素食 环保 都陆续跌下神坛，下一个会是谁呢？
哈哈，同样的吃人题材，角度要比《新鲜》的老套路好玩多了。
想看原著。向男演员奥利弗•马苏奇致敬，惊叹他的表演！
标题和内容相得益彰，题材太过于恐怖和暗黑了，心理承受力差着慎看
很适合周末的爆米花电影，再次提醒我们做事一定要细节。所以伊朗猪肉到底啥味道？
有法国电影独特的浪漫，有黑色电影的荒诞，有血浆残肢的猎奇，有前后照应的细节，甚至还有对《人肉叉烧包》电影的致敬和对黄秋生扮演角色的效仿。似乎什么都不缺，男女主表演也很合适，配角也很讨厌。电影通过极端的食人的行为，道出了极端素食者的伪善，并且在素食与肉食之间徘徊反思，并没有单纯地认为：肉食者鄙。但电影缺乏原创性，食人的设定，很多文艺作品都有，从《绝代双骄》《人肉叉烧包》《沉默的羔羊》到《小镇滋味》，食人设定已经数见不鲜，素食者的肉非常鲜美，这是原创。影片中间把动物世界捕猎与男女主捕猎素食主义混剪在一起，《超体》电影中有。至于电影中对于极端素食主义的嘲讽也是老梗。综上所述，就一部可以食用的下饭爆米花“美食”电影。PS：不建议吃饭时观看。
确实各种政治不正确，讽刺了一众极端的素食主义，动物环保，黑人，女权等。
最好忘记小说看 对于昨天看小说的我很难哈哈 改编挺大的导致有点难融入电影 男主演的真好演完电影会不会有什么心理创伤 其实也挺好看的 可能以后会再看一遍
不能理解法国人的幽默还是多一星给对素食主义者和肉食主义者偏执狂双向批判
越看越像闹剧可又畏手畏脚了，
弃局而退或是真正意义上的胜利。
挺讽刺的…社会发展发展，什么样奇葩的事情发生都正常了…
看得时候怀疑我的IQ过低所以我看的有点晕乎，但有评论说电影和原著出入比较大。好奇又看了原著，emmm，确实仿佛两个故事了，原著本身就挺精彩，不知道为嘛要加上那一段隐喻精神病人脑内幻想的碎片场景，解读过度，打算把佛洛依德和茨威格合体一下？？
20220624——167；改编自茨威格的原著。换了个角度，或许更利于电影表达。奥利弗·马苏奇的表演很见功力。
拍给极端白左素食者的恐怖片，翻译真的接地气，我吃肉我自豪。
爆浆喜剧，反讽素食主义者，挺有意思。大多数夫妻之间的生活会逐渐无聊化，需要通过刺激性的东西激活一下。
为了battle素食主义者专门拍部恐怖片是吧
哈哈哈，挺有意思的，给极端的素食主义者、动物保护主义者一记响亮的耳光~
