The Oxsmá Planet is one of those curious finds from the early 80s that really captures the feel of its time. It's a tragedy wrapped in a science fiction shell, focusing on a spaceman from Reykjavík who just can't quite get it together. The pacing is a bit slow, but it allows the viewer to really soak in the atmosphere of this distant dream planet and its strange natives. Practical effects are charmingly rough around the edges, giving it this unique tactile quality that digital just can’t replicate. The performances, while sometimes uneven, have this rawness that adds depth to the character's struggles—like an outsider trying to fit into a world he barely understands. There's something haunting about it, really, that lingers long after the credits roll.
