Tale of a kind of post-apocalyptic King Rat, but one who is also a purveyor of the people's opium, ultimately getting high on his own supply. Somewhat interesting characters and themes, with effort expended on a low budget to produce some striking tableaux and whirling camera work, but some of the musical choices were incredibly poor (for example, in the bar scene). In summary, views of the film as avant-garde art experiment or schlocky B-grade genre movie are probably equally justified.

orjinal olsaydı efsane olabilirdi. ama bu haliyle La Jetee ve Blade Runner'ın kırması dişe dokunur bir iş olabilmiş. post apokaliptizmi sevdiğim için puanını şişirdim.

"O-bi, o-ba: The End of Civilization" has excellent art production, with dirty environments and claustrophobic blue lighting creating a dreamlike atmosphere. It explores dystopian themes like myth, hope, madness, delirium, escape, and death, but the script fails to cohesively integrate these elements, reducing their impact. It resembles Terry Gilliam's "Brazil" but doesn't reach the same level. Despite its flaws, the film still provokes reflection but could be better with a more impactful script

Fantastic movie. You won't find set design or cinematography much better than this.

A sublime post-apocalyptic sci-fi which sits among the best the genre has to offer. The art design and lighting are absolutely spot on, creating one of the most believable and impressive visions of a world torn apart on film. The philosophical content is both profound and presented with admirable clarity. It is a crime that this film is so underseen; if you ever get the chance to watch it, take it without hesitation and you will be rewarded with a true hidden masterpiece.

Except for some interesting editing decision, the movie is a great watch for post apocalyptic universe lovers. The settings is quite realistic, the characters lack something that i can not name, but overall, a good watch, unknown treasure.
