I have seen this film described as post-modern. I am not sure what that means and if that is a defined era or just a type of film that could be made at any time.
However, one feature of this film is that the dialogue is rather aloof and clipped. There is also something up with the clothes. No character looks as if they are wearing their own clothes. It is as if the wardrobe suppliers were a very small concern with just had two rails - one with some brand new pieces from a catalogue store and the other from a charity shop and they made do.
All living spaces are similarly off. Very minimalist and as if a few items had been bought from a yard sale just to put things on tables and the like.
Nevertheless, I found the film interesting and entertaining. The framing of the action was soothing to me. Very pared down without lots of jumping about. I also liked the music and the Bande a part style dance routine.
I saw this film as one of this month's "Curzon 12".
