I challenge you to find a more captivating minute and a half of video than this. It just doesn’t get any better than this, really.
It’s a strange world, folks. I would give a lot to know what they are saying, because there just has to be a reasonable plot-line that explains what the hell is going on in this movie, right?
Explanation:
Stoned university film major, finding himself suddenly hosting his foreign-student roommate’s entire family for a weekend, is “inspired” to create a blog-umentary about the experience, focussing on the irony of a patriarchal culture where women really hold the power. Loses focus.
Nice, that’s gotta be close. I will submit another, less lofty explanation.
How the movie got made is another thing entirely, but the story itself is as follows: Convalescing dope smoking slacker living in Mom’s basement befriends local children to keep him company. In his befuddled state he thinks the children can dance, etc. In a twist revealed at the end of the movie these are just hallucinations and there aren’t any children at all (does sort of explain the smoking child seen at the end of the clip). Amusing dance numbers in the movie take the edge off of the grim reality of his slide into insanity. Film is optioned by Hollywood and arty feel is lost when Disney casts Nicholas Cage as the slacker and John Goodman as the dancing baby…. nobody goes to see it.
