Very ambitious and challenging work, religion, economy, intergenerational relationships, family, love, and various issues have been peculiarly and absurdly distorted, presenting a side that the world often ignores. The statue of Jesus dangling on the cross with one hand like a monkey, the degraded old man spent his 100th birthday in front of a room full of spooky guests, the father who set fire to swindle money, the son who wrote poetry and went crazy into the hospital, unique vision Language, between the seemingly loosely connected scenes, constructs the director's deep-level picture of the contemporary world in the minds of the director. On a strange and unknown night, strange things happened one after another: humiliating company employees were laid off with no dignity; immigrants were inexplicably attacked by bad elements, and the entire bus station stood by and watched; playing the magic of the big saw. The teacher really opened up the open belly of the audience who volunteered on stage. Amidst the chaos, a smoky-faced Karl appeared. He had just set fire to his furniture store, trying to defraud the fire insurance money. All night, everyone was in a hurry and couldn't close their eyes. On the second day, the level of chaos continued unabated. The insurance company and Carl were wrestling, and the whole city fell into a big traffic jam that was completely immovable. When everything seemed to be out of control at the beginning of the millennium, Carl slowed down. Slowly I realize the absurdity of the world, and gradually understand how difficult it is to be a "human"

Absurd drama. The scene is like a stage play, very dark. Ugly and sad as a human being.

8. Dreyer's influence on Nordic movies is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. This film also pays tribute to "Words". The "crazy" eldest son is a metaphor for Jesus. The opposition between the father and the eldest son implies that spirituality and belief are abandoned, and people are blindly pursuing material things. The color, shape and setting of this film are very good. The actors are covered with thick white powder. At first glance, it does not look like the real world, but the world of the dead.
