Dehumanisation Central ...
10 July 2022
This is a film about the dehumanisation and Robotisation of humanity of the workforce after 40 years of neoliberalism.

It shows the workers of a bucket price airline being treated like automatons By management hired fired manipulated indoctrinated in whichever way increases profits for the shareholders.

It is a profound indictment of neoliberal capitalism and it is done extremely well.

The main actress Adele is so gifted and so charismatic that although the scenes depicted are about as fascinating as watching paint dry she still manages to instill life and emotion into this Death culture too many of the younger generations now think is normal life.

It is not easy viewing or comfortable and probably the source for some of the negative reviews here which seem to totally miss the point the reason the Raison D'Etre for this Opus

In some ways I cannot really describe it reminds one of the early efforts of the Nouvelle Vague in 1960s France.

It contains social reality depiction done in a clinical quasi-surgical Manner.

If you are interested at all in the way humanity is being turned into a farming pen for transhuman robots this is the film for you.

The comedy tag some have given needs to be qualified with the proviso that it is of the driest type.

It is not comedy it is a lucid indictment of the place we have collectively got to and that we need to get away from as quickly as we can if we want to remain human.

Yet the main actress manages at times to infuse humanity into some of the scenes.

The backdrop though Perforce will always remain sterile, boring, uninteresting, nihilistic, biocidal, doomed, headed to nowhere.
