Better Go Mad in the Wild review
Director Miro Remo journeys deep into the Czech countryside to find two brothers living an isolated life filled with quixotic wisdom in this surreal documentary
TL;DR
- The film follows Czech twins František and Ondřej Klišík living an isolated life in the Šumava mountains.
- The twins farm, engage in philosophical debates, arm-wrestling, and František pursues inventions like a perpetual flying machine.
- They are described as not being "boring cunts" and were previously decorated for anti-Soviet activism.
- The documentary delves into their personal and spiritual lives, their communion with nature, and their complex relationship.
- František died shortly after the film won an award, but his "mystical remit" is noted to live on through the film's wisdom.
- The film is characterized by its surrealism, fabulism, and captures the twins' "ying-yang cohabitation".
