Most people miss the fact that Raspad is a comedy, if black..., 3 October 2004
Author: Tom Jennings (tomj@wps.com) from Los Angeles

Raspad is indeed a grim view of the Chernobyl meltdown in Pripyat, and follows a few characters through their trek to the site of the disaster.

However it's a comedy, if a deep, black one. There are many threads of humor, more than a few I don't really get (but clearly detectable as cultural references, mainly the hilariously irritating folk singer) but some are pure slapstick -- the opening scene, a man awakens in bed, reaches for his glass of water... complete with false teeth; idle chat in a taxi, man falls of a high crane in the background (EEEEEEEeeeeyaaaahhh....); hamming it up for photos at the site of the meltdown...

It's a GREAT movie. With subject matter this grim how else could it be handled?

As an added bonus, it was the movie my partner and I saw on our first date, 12 years ago, when we were the only ones laughing.
