Lost in Karastan

About This Movie

Lost in Karastan is an offbeat comedy that captures a unique blend of absurdity and melancholy. The film follows Emil, a washed-up British director, as he navigates the chaotic landscape of a recently formed Caucasus republic. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, with moments of surreal humor punctuating the political satire. The performances—particularly from the lead—have this raw, unfiltered quality that pulls you into their struggle against the absurdity of it all. It's not your typical comedy; it has an air of existential dread wrapped in dark humor. Plus, the practical effects and the oddball characters create an intriguing atmosphere that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
