Post Mortem

About This Movie

So, 'Post Mortem' is this quirky blend of comedy and drama from 1980 that dives into the absurdity of nationalism and ambition. Set in 1908 Albania, a group of so-called patriots forms a club with dreams of fame. They’re all a bit delusional, especially Dr. Adhamudhi, who’s convinced he’s a linguistic genius with his wacky new alphabet. The film’s tone balances humor with a kind of melancholy, showing how these characters grapple with their desires and failures. It's not just about laughs; there's a deeper commentary on identity and legacy. The pacing is a bit leisurely, allowing for those character moments to breathe. The performances are intriguing, adding layers to these rather eccentric figures. Definitely a film that stands out when you dive into Albanian cinema.

Watch for its rich themes on identity and nationalism. · Notice the unique character arcs and development. · Interesting take on early 20th-century Albanian society.
