🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Jørgen Leth constructs the film as a series of concise, clinical observations, using fixation on detail and a monotonous voiceover to deconstruct the human into components. He relies on the aesthetics of advertising and educational films to explore how society builds its ideals.
Those who tire of conventional narratives will find a witty and unsettling dissection of daily rituals. What lingers after viewing is a newfound awareness of the absurdity in our own performed normality. — MovieFinder Editorial
