Deconstructing social pressure

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2016)

This is a fracking weird movie. It's all about how society pressures one to be in a certain way, thus depriving them of their humanity. The entire film is metaphorical: the dialog, the long shots in which people are small and meaningless, the way people talk without emotion, the narrator - at least in the beginning - which with a droning voice works against the character on screen, the structured dehumanization.
I can't say I liked it, but it has an original idea and it is acted really well. A good cast as well. Reminded me of Dogville, a movie that I couldn't watch. Same approach of doing something different from what is expected with really known actors. It feels like a play. It feels European. If feels like art.
Bottom line: it's one of those you either love it or hate it films, but you at least respect it.
