About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a provocative, Kafka-esque crime story about power and hypocrisy with an absurd edge; Not for you if you need fast pacing, likable leads, or straightforward thrills like Il Sorpasso.

Pros: bold political satire; tense dark humor | Cons: slow pace at times; heavy-handed message
