Alejandro Gonzáles Iñárittu
The most powerful man in the world races to prove he can save humanity from a massive disaster that he personally created, in Iñárittu’s ‘comedy of catastrophic proportions.
Sex certainly comes up early and often in this playful, intricately nuanced character study, but in consistently surprising, stereotype-averse ways.
Feier (Jan Gunnar Røise) has a sexual encounter with another man, without himself experiencing it either as an expression of homosexual longings or infidelity. Avde (Thorbjørn Harr) suddenly experiences nocturnal dreams in which he is seen as a woman.
This confuses and disturbs him and begins to wonder whether there are aspects of himself that he has suppressed.
Haugerud’s sly comedy addresses various crises of modern masculinity with a light, humane touch, finding more curiosity than toxicity in its characters - and making a case for seemingly aberrant desires and impulses as an everyday fact of life.
