So. We're following a bunch of people that's slacking around in different ways. Everyone seems very confused and totally absorbed in their own worlds... everyone thinking that working is a bad thing... not realising that they couldn't slack if there was not someone who worked in the wheels of society...because then their would be no society for them to slack in. Simple logic.
The good thing is the conversations you get out from every meeting(or monoloug). They have a good flow and some great acting, even if you don't agree about everything they're saying. The film don't try to tell you what is right or wrong, you simply get to listen to people talking about different subject. So in a sense there's no real plot except random people talking and slacking. Still you get a sense of the movie moving forward trough a good camera-work and editing.
The movie is a shining example of people that have lost their power and are totally in the hands of their whims and feelings. It also gives a picture about the desperate, and resigned, look on life that flowed in the 90's...
But there's also the questioning of everything(from some people), which is a good thing. Never take anything for granted that you haven't critically researched and taught about, grinded in your head so to speak. And that's the little bit of light that shines out from these slackers... some of them questioning everything, and some of them becoming outsiders because of it. Tough at one point you gotta make up your mind, and decide what your own truths are. Or it will be like in "Shawshank redemption", you either get busy living or get busy dying(inside).
Cheers
