Neptune's Feast

1986 · 57 min

A wry, gently absurd satire of bureaucratic fibs snowballing into a frantic communal performance, funny and quietly sad in equal measure.

Overview: A group of Swedish tourists are on the way to a Russian village to witness the so called 'Festivity of Neptunus', in which the inhabitants take a dive in a hole in the ice. This tradition, however, does not exist at all. The inhabitants try to make a good impression by starting the 'tradition' to please the tourists.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, warm and melancholic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Deception, class, identity, work
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
