‘Ground Floor’ Is a Political Parable Full of Apathy, Absurdity – and Mold (Exclusive Clip and Chat)

Comments

1. Marek: how does someone make a film so bleakly comedic about apathy
2. Amir: love the vibe but is that really a political statement or just apathy in a fancy way?
3. Shadow Moth: what do we even make of a politician who lets his apartment get overtaken by mold while running the country anyway?
4. Norakaur: that kind of apathy is sadly all too familiar in our times somehow feels both prescient and just a little...meh
5. Noahreyes: what i find interesting is how this kind of absurdist humor is becoming a thing again
6. Eliassato: haven't been following Reisz that closely but this title is promising, what's with the mold?
7. Mendezdiego: finally someone's tackling the apathy epidemic in their work, this is a bold take on the status quo
8. Diegonilsson: this concept sounds way more 'Explanation for Everything' to me, what's the deal with the apathy and mold?
9. Obsidian Cipher: really enjoying the absurdist tone in this one, always digging when a film isn't afraid to be weird
10. Amirsantosxo: Reisz's style is so singular, but this clip is really toning down the edges; does it work?
11. Echo Specter: apparently making films is just a way to cover up your existential dread now days
12. Talia: looks like they're still playing with the same themes but less subtle this time
13. Felix: mold infestations seem to be a thing now in italian film sets huh? given reisz's previous work i expected something more biting
14. Halcyon Shard: yeah this looks like more of Reisz's style, gonna be a slog 🙃
15. Velvet Nova: reisz always knows how to subvert expectations, but this one looks like a tough pill to swallow - that mold is intense 🐜
16. Diazisla: Glad Reisz is exploring Hungarian identity through film, but dark humor usually ends up being a cop-out for tackling tough issues
17. Crimson Serpent: what even is this, a satire or just them letting the guy get too weird again
18. Irisboone: reisz's films have this great ability to poke fun at himself while still saying something real about the human condition - is that intentional or just him being his usual quirky self?
