Who can say something like this about his biggest success? Not even Spielberg, Scorsese, Tarantino etc. I don't think I have seen anything else from him, but this one we got here is probably his most known effort anyway and it was such a success that it got turned into an animated movie even not too long ago, in 2013. The director and also one of the two writers is Georgiy Daneliya, who sadly died last year, but at least reached a really high age. By the way, to me the title sounds like "Kinshasa", but this has obviously nothing to do with the actual meaning that I sadly did not manage to figure out. Of course, there is also this fantasy language, but I will get to that later on. Apparently, the most frequently spoken language in here is Georgian according to imdb and not Russian, but as somebody with almost zero connections to either language I cannot confirm if this is true. "Kin-dza-dza!", pretty short title for this rather long movie at easily over two hours, is a Soviet film from 1986, so this one will have its 35th anniversary next year or maybe it happened already depending on when you read my review.
