Program Note
Jens Lien`s follow-up to his first film, [Jonny Vang], is this pitch black comedy set in a utopian dystopia, where Andreas is blessed with a perfect wife and unchallenging job, where everything is spotlessly clean, and where missing limbs remarkably grow back. The problems arise from Andreas not knowing how he got there, and not wanting to stay. One part Scandinavian social satire, one part Beckett, one part science fiction, the film delves into the world as it is now. Lien underscores how our affluence has bred apathy, disconnectedness and an emotional void. “The film describes total loneliness in a world that has everything ? but that`s also all it has. A society which has lost something along the way in its quest for perfection,” as Lien himself says. As comic as it is frightening and as alien as it is familiar.
