3 p.m.
A woman in heavy makeup sits on a park bench and complains to a heavy-metal freak about being misunderstood. A primary school teacher and a carpet salesman break into tears after a marital fight. A family man smashes valuable porcelain at a party and is punished by death in the electric chair. There are 50 similar ‘tableaux’ in this film, an inimitable depiction of the fears and worries of human coexistence scenes of everyday life that switch between realism and the grotesque, and offering a strong surrealist streak in stylized staging and colors.
