Kukuska

 Kukuska


aka The Cuckoo: 2002 Russian War Comedy Drama: 1h 45m: Director- Aleksandr Rogozhkin: This is an oddest humorous film I have ever seen. Second world war is at the fag end and Veikko the Finnish soldier is shackled in a rock by his own fellow German supporting troop. He uses his all skills to be freed from the shackles and succeeds. Ivan, being taken for court martial by the Russian army and attacked by their own forces accidentally survives because of a young widow living around with her reindeer farm. When these two men team together with the beautiful widow, things get crazier. Three of them speak their own languages and no one understands a thing. Despite that they eat and work together even enjoy the sex. In the climax both soldiers go off in different directions and woman stays alone in the ruins.

It's an amazing experience to watch this movie which takes you off to a new comedy world.This one is highly recommended movie.
