The Invisible Fight
Buy ticketsBlack metal, cars, and Kung Fu intertwine when festival favorite Rainer Sarnet portrays a Soviet soldier turned monk in a vibrant martial arts satire.
Following a near-fatal attack, a border guard in 1970s Soviet Estonia chooses to enter an Orthodox monastery. He is welcomed into the community of Kung Fu-practicing monks, much to the displeasure of the novice who was previously the abbot's favorite, setting the stage for an impending duel. Following the Dostoevsky adaptation The Idiot (GFF 2012) and the stylistically black-and-white folk horror tale November (GFF 2018), Estonian genre filmmaker Rainer Sarnet returns to Gothenburg with a quirky monk action comedy. The enormously vibrant The Invisible Fight is a fantastic showcase of set design and costumes, and features a healthy dose of Black Sabbath.
