It’s a bat-shit crazy milestone to be honored in the film history books – those that focus on world cinema, and also the indie film projects that are equal parts genuine and gaga. Who Killed Captain Alex? contains Ugandan commandos, kung fu, a MIDI version of Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose” as part of its score, a rambunctious (and sometimes farting) in-film commentary track, and some more super action.
