5.0 out of 5 stars Whatever..., October 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I think that many people will be able to identify with this film. As always, I made a point of knowing virtually nothing about it before I saw it, and I'd recommend doing the same. If you know about the plot beforehand, the impact will be markedly ruined. The first thought that came to mind after the first few sequences was "they haven't shown anyone's face yet".. I guess that's the point. If you are reading this, then you most likely are not starving, and are amongst the rich 1 billion of the world. So the actions portrayed initially in this middle class existence needn't any face, as they pertain to all of us, we the regurgitators of human aspirations (weird phrasing). We don't have a face, as there is nothing to tell us apart from the next person. Anyway, it's absurd to think that the mental process that took over the family is considered an exception, but the fact that it is only highlights how sick our society is, refusing to remodel this cataclysmic and decerebrate way of being. I was affected by the subsequent events that transpired, and one particular scene still haunts me in a vicious way, although it cannot be mentioned here... suffice to say it broke free from a certain degree of apathy shown by the main characters throughout, revealing the desperate and twisted cry of raw emotion that can exude from even the most planned chaos. Watch it all the way through, it is meant to bore you for a while, it wouldn't be the same if it didn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars The triviality is the antechamber of desperation!, October 4, 2007
By Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Obsessive tale of the existential despair, signed by the thick brume of triviality that lives beneath the way of living of a modern family.

This dark story has nothing to do with a pretended fable, because, the universal anguish in what so many people live, may be carved in relief.

When Paul Diel defined in "The symbology of Myth" the triviality as the lack of physical tensions in the human being, then everything is clearer at the moment to decipher this apparently absurd and out of context behavior.

One of the most devastating and horrid existential testimonials in years.

One of the best films of the decade.
