ticketsSynopsis
This raw diamond of Croatian no-budget trash filmmaking made Bore Lee’s adventures a national hit—and soon, an international cult. The background story itself is the stuff of legend: Boris Ivkovic, a provincial tailor and martial arts enthusiast imagined himself the reincarnation of Hong Kong master Bruce Lee. Renamed Bore Lee, he became a local underground phenomenon in the 90’s with shabby, self-directed VHS videos presenting his rather unique fighting style and crazy haiku poetry-philosophy. The big breakthrough came with this first feature, made by clever young filmmakers from Zagreb: Bore travels to the big city to learn Yoga, falls in love with his beautiful instructor (named Anayoga!) and winds up fighting the evil gang who kidnaps her. Truly a “religious kung-fu love drama“ as its makers claim, but presented straightforward as hilariously cheap trash: as a result, every second of this film is surreal and mind-blowingly insane. One of the hidden gems of European genre fun in the new millennium.
