Quotes:
Adam Miauczynski:My dear friend on this journey. You built this dark mound to lead the life of a termite. Protected from the sunlight. Closed in your sad rigid rituals. Even if they make you mad, these rituals became your shield against the winds, the waves, against stars and feelings. Every day you struggle to forget your human condition. The clay you are molded from has dried out and hardened. No one will ever find in you an astronomer, musician, altruist, poet or human who lived for even one day.See more »

Weird, but funny!, 24 June 2004
Author: yohan_nl from Netherlands

I don't watch foreign movies very often. Day of the Wacko was an exception. But I was glad I saw it. Would not have missed it.

The title of the movie contains exactly what the film is all about. A day of the life of a real wacko. Watch this strange man, doing everything in his own careful way. As he has been doing his whole life. The man tries to escape from his town, his habits.. his life. Will he manage to do this?

A strange movie. But really good. And with some clear messages for all of us. If you get a chance to see this one, be sure to watch it.

You will not be disappointed.

It's a shame that this film isn't available on dvd in Europe.
