There are a lot of classic/wonderful passages: the assembly line, the accidental drug use in the prison, ice skating in the department store, the roast duck that can't be served in the restaurant, and of course the song of...

    Police and Hymns

    A film against the backdrop of the Great Depression in the United States.

    The flock and the crowd at the beginning of the film, the idle chairman and the busy workers are all satires of capital.

    Under the supervision of the assembly line work, people were alienated to the point of mental breakdown....
