Dada Kubin's rating of the film The Amphibian Man
Dada Kubin

The evil are evil, the good are good, life is simple like it used to be during the Cold War. And the plot is crazy, but it isn’t without political dimensions: the father fashions a utopia for his son, who pays a high price for the dreams of the father. I wonder whether “Amphibian man” would’ve passed the censors during the Stalinist years. Worth to see for the great underwater scenes and the most beautiful eyes.
