Sonja

An alternative reality where the cold war didn’t end, and an atomic bomb has struck Soviet Kazakhstan. Sonja, a 22 y.o. Swedish club-kid, working at one of the hippest magazines in the world, is mysteriously invited to report from inside the radio-active zone, to find or debunk the rumors of mutated centaurs living there…
Strange little film that definitely could've gone on a bit longer just to add more narrative information (the how's and why's of this alternate reality world) but otherwise it was a very enjoyable crazy little film. Shout out to Tyler Labine doing a solid impression or really a mash up of the various faces of VICE magazine circa 2000. He was equal parts charismatic, and dispicable, pivoting from one pole to the next so you never really hated him but also didn't really love him. Just a drunken, drug fueled mess obsessed with gonzo journalism! Definitely one of those arty movies that people either enjoy to some degree, or don't like it at all.
