UPLOAD: Where Do You Hide the Sun?
"Libya never fostered any kind of film industry during the Twentieth Century, and it almost beggars belief that one of the tiny handful of features produced in the nation should be an action movie about narcotics-peddling, Satan-worshipping bikers. Helmed by an imported Moroccan director and an all-star Egyptian cast including a shaven-headed Adil Adham doing his finest Sid Haig impersonation, the movie is nominally a cautionary tale, earnestly described on Wikipedia as a 'film that addresses the effects of corruption on young people with the solution being adhering to social values'.
In reality, this is a 'cautionary tale' chiefly in a Dwain Esper sense of the term; the movie spends most of its running time relishing, and showing in close detail, the very things that it purports to condemn, and it's purely on account of its violent and horror-styled excesses that the film has developed a cult following. The opening credits, accompanied by a catchy theme tune with electric guitar accompaniment, also seem to be born from someone's LSD trip, depicting in swift succession everything from Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, via cavemen bearing clubs and Pharaohs designing palaces, to modern-day petroleum workers and a lone figure waving a Libyan flag, the only moment in the entire movie when its Libyan origins are acknowledged."
