(1961) Eugenia Balaure, Haralambie Boros, Emil Botta, Horia Caciulescu, Florin Piersic. This is perhaps the most surrealistic, offbeat sci-fi film ever made. It’s almost indescribable. It starts with a man accidentally walking into a nuclear test area. He is apprehended by a squad of men dressed like spacemen, all of whom are holding big ray guns. He is soon released, but later finds himself the recipient of a fantastic, futuristic suitcase nuclear bomb, which he obliviously carries around for most of the film, all the while being chased by crooks who want the bomb for themselves. There is little dialogue in this bizarre, engaging film, but it has a definite social message for the viewer. Lots of weird sci-fi gadgets and effects compliment the proceedings. Very strange, but quite well done. Aka S-A Furat O Bomba. 16mm.
