The movie makes an effort in depicting the people, the culture and the city as being ugly and vulgar. The only good job it does is that of being exactly what it tries to ridicule. It is vulgar and ugly, it is forced and fake, full of poorly written and acted dialogue. The ending is evasive as it has nothing to contribute to the problems of the society it tries to ridicule.
It is the perfect example of what is wrong with cinematography in this country as keeps alienating it's audience by ignoring them and feeding them garbage as packaged as art. The public is a pri
The first part of the movie is a 30 minute walk trough areas of the city, full of long shots, loud noises, constant out of frame cursing, and exaggerated situations and conflicts. They bring no value to the story and don't lead to anything, nothing makes sense because it is cherry picked and forced. The teacher goes to the supermarket so we can witness an argument about somebody not having enough money to pay for cigarettes and beer, goes to the pharmacy so we can listen to another forced dialogue, and then continues to go in the Old Town, the tourist trap of the city, alone, to have a coffee. This of course is done so we can listen to another forced conversation some random teenagers have, conversation that again, has nothing of value to add.
The second part of the movie is a series of images or videos with superimposed text with varying messages about society, religion, violence, and the occasional genitalia, just to pull you back from the safe zone where you probably drifted while hoping this will be over soon. There is no time to process anything and it keeps going for about another 30 minutes. It feels like and edgy teenager's attempt of making a stock video montage.
The third part comes back to the teacher who now faces trial in the school yard. It is a circus moment and it is executed as such. The overused stereotypes are poorly done, with some exceptions. The racist and offensive language is again forced and lacking wit, used only as an element of shock. TV characters join in randomly and try to contribute to the event, mocking the actual plot. We have no actual conclusion about the leaked sex scene or the trial, but we were forced to watch it twice.
Reading professional critics about the movie is sad as everyone tries to depict this as being a form of sophisticated art filled with complexity. It depicts the city as this and that and shocks and impresses... the exact same copy/pasta. Getting of your high hose and looking at things from the ground will only shock with the plainness and cringe of it all. Critics continue to encourage this type of movie, a movie that does not appeal to the public and does not try to connect to the public.
I am both sad and disappointed.
