Movie Info

A case of food poisoning derails a family's holiday and forever alters the course of their lives. Years later, the couple go camping again, looking for one last chance to go back to the way things used to be. But what once was is lost, and they instead find themselves having to relive the same nightmarish events, as that day and the horrors it brings repeat themselves infinitely. Together, they must overcome their trauma, reconcile with the past and fight for their lives -- over and over again.

Audience Reviews for Koko-di Koko-da

Apr 08, 2021

An old-school Swedish grief-parable and pretty baleful. I'm not sure I'd recommend it; it's not as clever or emotionally moving as it thinks it is but it is grim. Couple grieving for their dead child are subjected to a cycle of weird torments by a group of surrealist fairy-tale psychopaths in a wood. It's not as horrible as 'Funny Games' or 'Antichrist' by far but it shares a similar dreary, circular ambience. Cool shadow-puppet sequence in the middle. Cw for several dead dogs.

This is what David Lynch's nightmares must be like -- a groundhog day of despair and depravity. There is one scene -- only one freaking scene -- that is absolutely gripping and terrifying to anybody that has had a child. And the rest is just art-for-for art's sake with little effort to connect the dots.
