surplus: Terrorized Into Being Consumers
April 17th 2008 @ 12:00 am about, movie, thoughts

On the surface of things, this is a very radical film, both in style and content. It seems to draw a scathing portrait of Western consumerist and corporate culture by brilliantly editing together politician’s sound bites, found footage and interviews to an techno-soundtrack, resulting in what can best be described as the cinematic equivalent of hip hop.
