This one tickled me. In the opening scene a man jumps in front of a subway car. Next we see him in the desert somewhere where he's escorted to his new home and job in a modern, sterile nameless city. Everything and everyone here is clean, shallow and bland. He finds himself hungering for...well, we're not really sure. Zest, brio, life.
Wickedly dry, a sarcastic take on modern existence. The plot line reminded me of the New Zealand film The Quiet Earth done with a nordic flavor.
The resolution was pretty dark but getting there was engrossing. I wish films like this drew a bigger audience.
