the mutants


i heard that they used actual retarded people for the mutants, which is pretty mean spirited considering what defines them in the film as being a mutant (2nd class citizens) is their mental state. i was wondering has this ever caused a reaction in the media or anything.
brilliant film though

well I was wondering about that too. If gives the film real realism.

Its one of the most unknown gems I know. What do u think?

One must remember this was filmed during Soviet times, not exactly a regime that upheld human rights. Unfortunately the same can be said of Putins expansionist Russia and his oligarchic friends.

what ails most madmen is realitys grasp or escape, a paralysis of analysis
