I just saw кин-дза-дза for the first time this last weekend and I can't recommend it highly enough. It's just genius, and hilarious. It feels like Soviet Terry Gilliam, but definitely unique and artful in its own right.
I always use cak(the bell that a certain class has to wear on their nose) as a metaphor for current mask usage. :D

Could you clarify connection between masks in current health situation and 'certain class has to wear'?
They didn’t mean that a certain class has to wear masks. Just reminds them of the bells.
That fits so well! After we saw this movie, me and my friends said Koo a lot. Maybe we’ll start this too. ^^

This and Stalker, I think are one of the best Soviet sci-fi movies. But unlike Stalker, Kin-Dza-Dza is very difficult to understand for foreigners (based on watching it with different people over the years). Only someone who lived through transition from Communism to Capitalism will relate to the protagonist.
Also has a very good animated remake: https://youtu.be/tRwuvQUSG5c
