Me and You and Everyone We Know

(2004)

RATING:80%
FORMAT:DVD



A community is comprised of me and you and everyone we know. Yet here Loneliness is writ large in a Western culture atomised to death with individualism - individuals who do not know how to make human contact with other - so-called - individuals.

This Caucasian self-alienation is emphasised in children sensing the adult loneliness and becoming sexualised by it in sharing childish sexual fantasises with many of those adults: Both copro- and paedophilic. We somehow sense that they'll grow up to become the same unself-aware misfits their parents are since, at a young age, they are already talking like the adults they will become.

The problem with films about boring, solipsistic, narcissistic and self-indulgent people is that they tend to make for boring, solipsistic, narcissistic and self-indulgent movies.
