Lynch vs Kubrick, with touches of originality.

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2015)

All the nonsensical violence of a Clockwork Orange, and the oddity factor of a Lynch movie.
Most characters in this movie are somehow cold, unfeeling and shallow narcissistic sociopaths, psychopaths, but all have a robotic autistic quality. Some of the characters seem to be altruistic at times, but they are shallow and self-serving gestures that are merely to gain something in return.
It is clearly a satire on the pressures of society and the human condition. How we are all indoctrinated from birth into these crazy cultures to accept the clothes we should wear, the behaviors we should follow and the food we should eat, religion, nationalism, about how these societal norms are actually insane. How our lives are warped by the artificial pressures created by societies and the self-interested ways people interact within society, often failing to do the right thing, but following the madness and doing callous things because of societal norms, convenience or fighting for their own self-preservation at the expense of others, or simply doing evil if they think they can get away with it.
The cinematography and editing are good, as is the acting, the message is somewhat absurd and abstract in its presentation and the film not particularly enjoyable as entertainment. If you like the style and the message of the satire the movie might work for you and give you a few chuckles, however if you were to watch it in a bad mood, or with the wrong expectations you may end up hating it. Worth a watch as it will get people talking, love or loathe.
