Why Don't You Just Die!

It's quite hard to categorise this film. I've see it called a horror , a western and a comedy and i guess it's a but of all of those but one thing i'm in no doubt about and that this is a gem of a movie.

This is a Russian film about a young woman who asks her boyfriend to kill her father because he abused her as a child , (or so she says ), but when he gets to her fathers apartment he find's her old man is more than a match .

I love this film.

It's deliciously violent but not in a horrible way. There are buckets of blood and an amazing amount of brutality but never did i feel it was nasty. It's almost like a cartoon. Not unlike Tom & Jerry or Road Runner . Nobody dies easily , hence the title , and when they do it's actually funny , if that makes any sense?

It has a great soundtrack . There is classical music , modern music and even a Spaghetti western score.

I can't recommend this highly enough. Don't let the subtitles put you off because it's all about the physicality and clever camera shots.
