Smashbomb

The problem with Prisoners of the Ghostland is that Nicolas Cage himself tried to promote it as the craziest film he’s ever made, but the film never lives up to the insane concept of having a bomb strapped to your nutsack. The film forcefully shoves Mad Max influences into a Japanese theme with nuclear deformed samurai ghosts, bouncing gumballs, animal masks, pinwheels, and bubbles, and Nicolas Cage threatening to karate chop everyone into oblivion. All of this absurdity sounds like it should be way more memorable than it actually ends up being. Prisoners of the Ghostland is a massive letdown that implodes under its own lackluster outrageousness.

Sundance Film Award winning film, it took me a while to write because even now things are still hammering in my head. It is a simple film, but extremely strong. A portrait of a society so different from ours, with a Muslim and sexist majority. The delivery to the role of all the actresses is impressive as it is so realistic. The scenes that caught my attention the most are the moments of calm and happiness of women in the midst of such a chaotic and sad life. The ghosts of conflict and the scars they cause are present in every second of the film and it manages to convey, as far as possible, the horror that is war. A film about empowerment that anyone who cares about feminism has to watch. Now I'm in the mood to try ajvar, I have a friend from Macedonia who confirmed that it's delicious, looking for it in a market.
