What do you get when you cross Afro-futurism, Cold War paranoia, the dystopian world of Philip K. Dick and 60s exploitation cinema, along with a hefty dose of Lynchian surrealism? The answer: Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway, the second feature by Miguel Llansó (Crumbs) and one of the most striking and original films you'll see all year.
The year is 2035, and Special Agent Gagano (Daniel Tadesse, Crumbs) dreams of leaving the CIA to open a business with his wife Malin (Gerda-Annette Allikas). Before he can hand in his resignation, however, a strange cyber virus attacks Psychobook, the CIA's operating system, forcing Gagano to enter cyberspace via virtual reality to combat the threat. Before long, however, the virus starts to reach out into the real world, destabilising the fragile socio-political order for its own ends, and Gagano, trapped in the VR world, must find a way out before it's too late.
Featuring encounters with an Irish-accented Joseph Stalin, a kung-fu-fighting Batman, and Jesus Christ himself, to name but a few, Jesus Shows You the Way to the Highway is absurd, audacious and like nothing you've ever experienced before.

AfroFuturism insanity
A truly absurd tale for our more even absurd times. This feature by Miguel Llansó encapsulates the right dose of surrealism to not become tiring or repetitive. It is also a great hommage to b-movies. The plot is as crazy as it gets and showcases some truly unique type of acting. The extras and the audio commentary are pretty informative as well to situate this movie and give out a proper context. I also like the cover art as well.

A fine small budget mindbender
I saw this spanish-ethiopian-estonian virtual reality / spy thriller at a film festival and was in full "WTF did I just see" mode afterwards. Bought this blu-ray and film was well worth a second waching. Stalin-virus! Bat-Fro! Jesus! Mr. Sophistication!
