Suroh: Alien Hitchhiker

I don't take hallucinagens. After watching this I'm not sure if I need to or if I should have.

An alien crash lands on earth and guides a young man on a journey of discovery. But not of life beyond that of which we know. A journey of...sexual discovery.

I want you to imagine Neil Patrick Harris saying that last bit in his most over-the-top sexual voice. That's pretty much this entire movie. Well the first ten minutes are said young man and a friend of his debating the existence of life in outer-space. Then there's a really cool shot of a guy investigating the space crash site when a dog inexplicably walks into the shot. But the rest is just Suroh taking the young man (Paul) on a voyage he will never forget.

It's all presented in an acid-filled way that college kids...on a lot of drugs would present it all. Washed out colours. Really cool music. Blurry shots.

It was certainly a trip and I still don't know what to make of it.

3,000,000/10.

Goddang! This is one sweet movie. I defy anyone to see this and not walk away stunned by its originality. Sure, the special effects may not be as 'high-tech' as you're used to (actually they're more nigh-tech). But the personalities of Suroh and his human are bursting with with realism, and real-life longing. And the surge of emotions that every viewer will feel is more real, and more special than any so-called 'special effects.' I myself, can only cite two other instances in which I had been so touched by a film: Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" and Luis Bunuel's "That Obscure Object Of Desire." Am I saying it's as professionally polished as those other two? No. But it did reach me in the soul (& played with my head) as much as those two did. I highly recommend this film. Watch it yourself, & tell me if I'm right!
