Purchased the dvd and vinyl and watched the movie last night. The stylish and often funny Interkosmos is wonderful fare for fans of the avant garde, retro communism, guinea pigs, or rocketships. The music (no surprise) is terrific, an homage to the themes of the project, yet it’s fresh and complex.
