Do Not Expect Too Much from the End of the World 2023
movie very recognizably about life in exploitation-all-the-way-down gig-economy hell within a planet where the atmosphere is 100% composed of farts. it’s always a risk incorporating vulgar modernist concepts into a narrative—such as andrew tate or tesla or minecraft or the cinephiliation of advertising or cemetery plots being pitched as “subscriptions” or the oz-like disembodied heads of clients on zoom calls being pathetically catered to by a roomful of coworkers you hope you never learn the salaries of—but the entire point…
