Surplus (brilliant documentary)

thephotobooth [Edit] [Delete] 17:31, 31 August '08

When I was in Sweden, we went to the Rohsska Museet, which was showing this film from director Erik Gandini - it's a very funny, poignant and intelligent documentary about how we're terrorized by consumerism, and how it affects different countries - looking at the US, Cuba etc, and all set to a techno/dubstep beat - he uses a lot of looping and sampling of interview content, over-dubbing Castro to have him yelling, "I LOVE THIS COMPANY!", using the words of a very sweaty Microsoft motivational speaker. Definitely worth watching if you're not up to much this afternoon, it's on YouTube in 10 parts, the first is below.
