Review of Logorama

Logorama (2009)
9/10
richly inventive piece of satire

Warning: Spoilers
"Logorama" is a spoof, and a very good spoof at that, of at least two kind of movies : on one hand the more violent kind of crime and hostage drama, on the other hand the disaster movie. However, it is primarily a sharp-toothed satire on the visual pollution of our Western cities - what am I saying, on the visual pollution of our Western lives, which get buried under an avalanche of publicity, corporate logos and product placement.

By the way, don't expect this little movie to end on a happy note : it pretty much implies that Mankind will happily export this kind of egregious ugliness to other planets, even other dimensions. Space, the final frontier, just panting for the chance to get buried under mind-boggling layers of greed, crassness and impudence...

I stand in awe of the daring of the various makers of the movie - from a legal point of view, I can only suppose that they've either got b*lls of iron or excellent lawyers. Or they might have excellent lawyers with b*lls of iron, that's a possibility too.

Richly deserved the awards thrown in its direction, plus a few other ones it should have obtained.
