She's dead, but we're still working. Discontent is a highly respected industry. ©
I have never seen such a pseudo-documentary film before. I don't care about low ratings! Yes, it is not perfect, does not seem to be fully authentic in its naturalness, and also sins with some too everyday scenes that could easily be replaced with something more interesting and shocking. But just think about the plot. Just look at how the plot eventually gave birth to a full-fledged story: provocative in its cynicism, not on ceremony with the moral foundations of the viewer, frank in its own courage and odiousness.
The heroes of the film made a business out of the death of a model and created art. They decided that it was much more profitable to work with a corpse, which means that the corpse needs to be paid more, but this is not a problem. The corpse is devoid of whims and becomes a toy in the hands of the eminent designer and his team. How will society react to such a campaign? Of course, it will be extremely surprised and outraged (how so, because you can not descend to such an embarrassment), but sooner or later the squeals will subside, passions will subside, and a new trend will go down in history and become commonplace in the model environment. Are you saying this is nonsense and absurd?
How it would be in reality, we cannot know. The filmmakers had a great time! Black humor, prickly-sharp in its irony and pretending to be a social slap, is the main “nail” of the script, and each character here is memorable, because such madmen can only be found among artists. Despite all the specificity and some obvious flaws, I would not evaluate this debut low. This is something new, challenging in its own way, which I personally have not yet seen.
And this has its ugly, but attractive charm.
