Set in an underground dungeon inhabited by bundled, ragged human beings, after the nuclear holocaust. The story follows the wanderings of a hero through the situations of survival. People wait for the Ark to arrive and rescue them while their habitat falls apart.
Delving deep into the dusty and long abandonded vaults of b-cinema in search of lost gems always leaves me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand the discovery of unexpected gems where no one would think them possible is a rewarding experience. On the other hand though it makes one wonder how many of these remarkable low-budget oddities, personal love affairs of directors never quite famous and now all but forgotten, have almost forever slipped from memory?
n any case what we have here is a little post-apocalyptic gem from Poland that is really better than it has any right to. The dystopian near future of O-BI, O-BA finds a group of survivors of the nuclear war that ravaged the Earth inhabiting an underworld concrete bunker and biding their time as they wait for the mysterious Ark, an air ship of some kind that will come and save them. The Ark proves to be an elaborate hoax, carefully designed to give hope to the malnourished and desperate denizens of the bunker, while in the meantime the dome that separates their miserable existence from the nuclear winter outside is slowly caving in.
What first striked me about the movie is the design of the bunker and the depiction of the survivors. The survivors are gaunt, filthy and terrible-looking penitents, dressed in rags and aimlessly wandering the neon-lit halls of the bunker like automatons. The bunker is a rundown, seedy place, with bright neon lights peering from all sides like the eyes of malignant beasts.
On one hand it is a slightly 80's depiction of the dystopian future but the movie never stoops down to MAD MAX cheese. Instead it combines biting political satire with the bleak outlook of a world with no future, black comedy with barbs on apathy, religion and power. The survivors, for example, are fed some kind of flour dropping from a tube that hovers in the air - later on we discover the food supervisor uses books and the Bible itself as filler for this meagre meal. There are many such short symbolic touches, perhaps not life-changing or faith-restoring, yet playful, clever and inspired.
One thing is for sure; O-BI, O-BA is not your run-of-the-mill sci-fi schlock. It overcomes its modest budget with creativity and has genuine artistic aspirations both from a writing and directing perspective. My opinion is that it should have been filmed in black and white instead of colour though. The director uses atmospheric light and shadow to great effect and it would have registered even better in stark black and white. The blue-green neon on the other hand outstays its welcome after a while. Just a minor gripe in an otherwise solid b-movie with its heart set in all the right places.
Imagine a less bleak THE ROAD (Cormac McCarthy) being injected with the satire and humour of DR.STRANGELOVE and you're getting there. See it if you can find it.
这是法国人的幽默感吗？如此无趣却又如此长。
披着恐怖皮的温情片，加入了一些黑暗童话元素（糖果屋ptsd了）
我太热爱这种儿童向邪典了，看冒险小虎队长大的影响。
看完了.要是搁我小学的时候肯定爱看,现在还是算了,有孩子的带孩子看吧
仅看lesbian emotional line即可
越来越get不到那种琐碎+漫长的嘴炮式幽默
公寓异空间双螺旋古宅图书馆，镰刀蜘蛛霓虹怪奇植物温室，糖果屋电梯锅炉房鬼婆四围爬，文理死宅齐斗老少女巫；挺可爱的儿童恐怖片
这或许是一种情感寄托。
像娜塔莎这样把小孩绑架来供吃供喝还指导他写作的良心女巫不多见了
整部剧下来看得我莫名其妙，整个故事线就是找弟弟，结果三个弟弟来回找，找到了亲弟弟，杜佳豪那边也没个交代，虽然大家都明白了是镇长和九叔公，但是没个交代还以为姐姐把杜家豪都忘记了
个人认为这部剧的亮点在于有深度。它关于人性，关于批评腐朽文化，大结局挺感动的，可怕的不是妖魔鬼怪，而是人心。也不知道在豆瓣评分为什么这么低，我觉得一部好的作品是能和观众有一种对话，无言的对话，直击人心的对话，一种共眠。
一星半，金玉其外，被风格化的影像填补，但本质上仍是充斥着青少年狗血drama和内卷现状的职场青春肥皂剧，这种剧本质量是无论怎么包装都很难产生价值的，所以只能停留在对各种元素和其它电影生搬硬套的阶段，因此芭蕾只能作为符号，从内到外都与其无关。
印象深刻的几个点，两个女巫见面开打以后主角跑出去那条通道让人想跳狼姐的she wolf，反派的毁灭也是一贯的轻松。儿童恐怖文学，对你是个怪胎你独特的情感戏腻了。
好看的！电影前期紧张的氛围渲染的很到位，恐怖氛围拉满，情节发展自然不突兀，最后的结局很感人，女主超级飒！
2星，低龄低幼的儿童片，哈哈。整体还行。小孩子看看不错。
世上有许许多多看似“怪异”的人，可他们也是人，也有一颗有温度的心，还望我们放下偏见，善待他们。也许你会说我咋想这么多，我无话可说，这就是我的感受吧。
平庸的儿童向“恐怖片”，看不到一半就看不下去了，一眼望到底的剧情实在无聊，看了下剧透帖，果不其然的结局～
儿童恐怖片 还行 年纪轻轻就体验社畜的生活 像极了写不出文的自己 小朋友演的还挺好
Where do stars come from? Rebel’s heart. Will of steel. Eyes set true north.
额～～其实也不是很恐怖，剧情看到一半就能想到结局了，国产恐怖片也就这样吧，主线就是个基因突变和寻亲记
