A trailer has landed for The Invisible Fight, an Estonian martial arts film heading to cinemas this year, has been released for the U.S. market.
The film is described as a wildly explosive, endlessly entertaining blend of kung fu, heavy metal, and Orthodox Christianity. Kino Lorber will release the film on American screens from 23rd February on a limited release before expanding.
Here’s the synopsis.
USSR-China border, 1973: Young soldier Rafael is on guard duty when theborder falls under attack from flying Chinese kung fu warriors, leaving him as the sole survivor. Utterly fascinated by the long-haired martial artists who easily dispatched his fellow guards, all while blasting forbidden Black Sabbath music from their portable radio, Rafael is struck by a revelation: he too wants to become a kung fu warrior. Looking for mentorship but with limited options, faith leads Rafael to seek martial arts teachers at the most unlikely of places: the local Eastern Orthodox monastery, where the black-clad monks begin his training. With a skeptical mother, a rival monk, and a budding love interest pulling him in different directions, Rafael finds that his journey to unlock the greatest martial art of all – the almighty power of humility – is long, winding, and full of kick-ass adventures.
Rainer Warnet directs with the cast including Ursel Tilk, Kaarel Pogga, and Ester Kuntu. It had a premiere at the 2023 Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival to great word of mouth.
Hoping that this one gets a UK outing soon, too but it will screen at next month’s Glasgow Film Festival.
Here’s the trailer.
