ALBANIAN MOVIE DVD W/SUBTITLES TIRANA YEAR ZERO 2001

Description: Tirana, année zéro (2001) The movie "The Golden Alexander, the richest festival prize in Christendom (12.5 million drachmas; next year, 36,700 euros), was awarded by the John Boorman-led jury to Fatmir Koçi's Tirana Year Zero, a work of energetic Albanian nationalism that's more Kusturica than Rossellini. Tirana's surrealism is sweetly confrontational: Everyone's got a Kalashnikov, though nobody would ever actually use one. The hero supports his family by driving a rundown truck; his girlfriend aspires to international modeling success while he waits for the phoenix to rise from the rubble. The country may be in anarchic shambles, but its denizens' gusto will help Albania prevail." "A young veteran of Albanian cinema, Fatmir Koci is represented by a movie that's appropriately steeped in oxymoron. Well-shot but disorganized, turgid yet crazy, Tirana Year Zero provides a travelogue through a bucolic dump—a land of abandoned bunkers and sunny beaches that the natives seek to leave even as foreign tourists appear. Koci's movie imagines itself funnier than it actually is, but periodically stirs from its agitated depression and orchestrates the chaos with the aplomb of a wino staggering out to direct traffic.
