Nude Tuesday (2022)
9/10
Utter Gibberish.
14 April 2023
Nude Tuesday 2022, New Zealand movie or is it?

Bored couple go on a new age retreat to try to save their sexless marriage.

Filmed in New Zealand, dialogue sounds like it could have been made in Sweden or another Scandinavian country but in fact it is a made up language and is "gibberish" . This isn't a language like Antony Burgess's Clockwork Orange "Nadsat" which is written to create a future slang that in turn is timeless, which slang isn't, the dialogue is "gibberish". To help us mere mortals understanding the "gibberish" the subtitles are written by Julia Davis and at times clearly bare no relevance at all to the action taking place. She had a free hand to write her own subtitles as do the other subtitle's for other markets (not seen any other version so can't vouch for them) What of the film. It is utter "gibberish" it is so bad its great, or is it because its so funny that I think it is a bona fide original classic.

Comparisons , I'd liken it to Ben Weatley's Sightseers in its depiction or normality turned on its head., there's no killings but there's plenty of cock and fannies and full frontal nudity which, makes for some awkward situations, especially on Nude Tuesday , (Nude Day, League of Gentleman tribute if ever there was one) A wonderful and very funny film. And credit to the film makers for baring all for the movie. PS the "gibberish" also extends to the soundtrack with some lovely "gibberish" voiced classics. 10/10.
