A series of scenes that focus specially on a single idea, emotion or act us. In the absence of interfering qualities this film is able to take one factoring influence and amplify it to absurd and hilarious proportions. Each scene gives us an uninterrupted view at some of the more unglamorous characteristics that in the end determine who we are, both as individuals and as a thread in the patchwork of the collective human unconscious.

This film isn't supposed to be funny, but it made me laugh.
It isn't designed to be sad, but my heart felt heavy through a number of the vignettes.
It isn't written as action adventure, but my pulse raced more than once.
Just like life, this movie doesn't manipulate your emotions and tell you how to feel. It simply is, and you react.
If you don't find it funny or sad or moving, I suspect that says more about you than the film.
It amazing and refreshing to see a director so wholeheartedly celebrate that we are all human, and embrace that we are all trapped here, doing this "life" thing, over and over for as long as we must.
Tomorrow is another day.
