    Bottom line, if you don't feel tired/drowsy/exit or have any resistance for over two hours, you're half done (see Toni Erdmann and American Honey last year). The brilliance lies in the careful observation of life, otherwise the eyebrows and embarrassment of art and the elite will not be so vividly displayed and made to laugh. The male protagonist's suit is very handsome and handsome, and Elisabeth is the icing on the cake, but the second half is a bit...

    If theorists haven't figured out what new ideology to define today, then this new type of film might be able to, with the lens directly on the elite middle class leading society, because it's in the art world and some of Roy Anderson's style is stronger than last year's The problems that Erdman wants to reflect are richer and more advanced, and the embarrassment and intensity are even greater. Thinking of what we advocated before to keep yourself away from trash people, such political...

    The photography is typical of Nordic minimalism, and the narrative is filled with a chilling sense of humor. The irony is obvious. From a Tourette's patient to a man who plays an orangutan, the more advanced the occasion, the more dissonant elements are inserted, creating a ridiculously awkward scene. There is a ubiquitous sense of tension and alienation between people. Everyone is both a social animal and a patient of social phobia. The sense of absurdity is constantly escalating,...

    7.5/10. Embarrassment and self-deprecation, several scenes can't help but laugh. The performance of the beast, the questioning of the gunners, the boy who got angry, there are a lot of aftertastes. But the sense of form is too heavy, and there is a sense of narcissism in the...

    Why the anxiety and embarrassment of Nordics filming middle-class intellectuals can't escape Roy Anderson's set... laugh happily, and then forget all about it. So, is modern art...

    An embarrassing episode of the Swedish literary and art circles, a sketch linked to the incident of the curator losing his mobile phone and the video of the explosion of a girl beggar. "Tourism" and "gorilla man" are eye-catching, but they are snake feet. "Scalability" and "free speech floor" are interesting. The deepest impression is that the orangutan girl who rode the male protagonist for one night actually has her face entangled. Is this called sexual harassment? The spiral shot of the...

    Full of absurdity and banter, the footage contains meaning, embarrassment and sarcasm are well placed, the environment and encounters seem to be controllable but out of control, the self-deprecation of the intellectuals, or introspection, which reveals calm and entangled feelings. Fragment, like a little continuation of Ruben Ostrund's excellent predecessor "The...

    Two and a half hours make you deeply realize that as long as there is human nature, the world will never be...

    Extending the topic of "contemporary art" with the sociological topics "bystander effect" and "political correctness", in fact, the characters are puppet tools, in order to let the director reach the area he wants to...
