Hyped and nothing more
7 June 2015
I watched this movie at Sydney Film Festival and I found it really disappointing. Film tries to narrate a story of ordinary salesman in a nowhere land where everything is cold and grey and the audience are supposed to laugh at various dialogues showing the absurdity of human condition. Alienation , humanity and dead relationships...Film starts with 3 confrontation with death....and frankly speaking we have seen better confrontations at Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman. I watched this film because I generally like Scandinavian films but this one -to me- was very shallow. However despite my rating of this film, Have to credit the director for shot composition of every scene. I don't recall any camera movement through out the film. Steady camera frames a scene and you see what happens within this frame till the end of sequence. Good job on this, but for the whole experience it was really hyped.
