This was not a comedy as indicated among the genres, it is a psycho-thriller as #ThinMan beautifully puts. And it is in excess of two hours although I never got bored of it. After a long vegetation where we witness the build-up of the characters, a short harvest at the end follows where I at last asked “wow, further?”. So multidimensional, intricately woven the characters (i.e. narcissist/door mat, drama triangles, …) are, it is impossible to look through a black and white singular perspective, even the most disgusting scenes become simultaneously appealing, funny, innocent… There are so many very, very symbolic scenes, I am sure it will be intensively and thoroughly analysed by others. Superbly provocative yet casually innocent, it allows you to view everything through the lenses of everyone involved concurrently highlighting the social dynamics and role-sharing at a higher level while illustrating dependencies between singular characters. Until the “harvest”, I had no idea it would be like this, so be patient with the flow, some comedy parts appear when people display some very British responses in their agonising denials of the ongoing culling.
