'Magical reverse-ethnography marvels at the paradoxes of modernity. If regular markets work, why do we need supermarkets? Even more relevant today than when it came out.' (- The Yes Men). The self-taught filmmaker Kidlat Tahimik himself plays the lead role in his beloved low budget cult film from 1977 about a Philippine bus driver who dreams of travelling to the United States to become an astronaut, but who en route to the destination of his dreams has second thoughts and starts to doubt the modern world's promises of eternal progress. A charming, imaginative and at first sight naive film, which uses farce and magic realism to debunk any ingrained ideas we might have of the Western world's merits.
