Undergods

Brazil without icing. Or maybe even cake.

One of the most underrated films of the decade. British filmmaking at its finest. Surreal dark comedy minus the comedy. Dark and jarring. Following the narrative is like having a knife fight in a closet. An adventure that you weren't looking for, yet can't look away away from. Stark and bleak and yet totally compelling. If you want to see something different watch this. Watch it even if you don't. There's truly no way to prepare you anyway.

"ART"-Movie Thats everthing you need to know.

Meandering, with each story bleeding beautifully into the next, we don't spend a lot of time with any particular character. Instead, the stories told each add unique insight in building a bleak, yet authentic, world.

The dystopian setting is interesting but that is all you're given time to be interested in. Too many different stories without proper build and too quickly paced to connect with any of them. The ‘glue' holding it all together isn't very good, almost non-existent.

Overall, this might be a real treat if you seek a sci-fi story that attempts to be quite dark with its visuals, humour, and drama. It's a film that contains various characters and stories that all have one thing in common- tragedy and sad consequences. Some characters throughout are generally interesting, but with no conclusion ever given for the vast majority of them, I found my time, for the most part, to be wasted. I was left questioning the purposes of this film and feeling rather disappointed.

In a dystopian future Europe, feelings have broken down and the awful is normal. Bodies are sold; marriages are tenuous; sanity is overrated. Interlocking stories present us with a portrait of this world: A man who shows up to help; a corrupt businessman who loses more than he gains; a family learning a long lost relative is still alive. If you enjoy films with a strong plot, this isn't for you. If you enjoy films that immerse you in a surreal landscape then you'll likely enjoy this. Many approaches could be taken to interpret what the film means but one clear theme pervades: the collapse of patriarchy. This is a stylish, gloomy, and intriguing film. Very solid performances by all the actors.

Very odd movie this one. Visually, gloomy and tense. Thankfully it doesn't overcook the plot and requires less than 90 minutes of your attention. There's plenty worse you could watch…then again, there's plenty better movies you could watch as well. If nothing better on offer, give it a go.

It is almost unbelievable that most critics from the audience differ from the critic's ones. But I have no doubt in considering this movie one of the most interesting in the dystopian/apocalyptic genre. Capitalism, materialism and authority are all sickening realities portrayed in a clever way.

Too high concept for me. Couldn't follow the story/time/place jumps. Skip this one.
