Enver Hoxha ruled Albania with an iron fist for nearly 40 years and for a long time Albania was the only Maoist regime and by far the most isolationist society in Europe - politically, psychologically and physically. This film is about Colonel Muro Neto, the man Hoxha charged with constructing the bunkers throughout the country which ostensibly protected Albania from its enemies both without and within. He became known as "Kolonel Bunker." Written by Al Milgrom <filmsoc@gold.tc.umn.edu>
Very few films has come out of Albania. This is one of them, and it is basic if you want to understand the Albanian situation during and after a harsh regime.
Colonel Bunker shows us a beautiful but destroyed nation. People do not know what to think or do as a result of the years of communism. It also tells a not unlikely story on how to be trapped between the system and your moral values.
It is a strong movie about the consequences of dictatorship. And it is a key film to understand the situation of this tiny Balkan land.
