World of glory

It's one of the most weird movies I've seen.
This Swedish short movie was shot in 1991 and tells us about an ordinary life of an average person. It's made in the best traditions of Scandinavian social cinema - the camera doesn't move, and even the main character himself stays still almost all the time. The other people on the screen seem not to be aware of the shooting process, and this collision of conditional and real worlds is really interesting. It is a sort of a counterpoint, together with the contradiction between the title of the movie and its content.
The general idea appears to be close to "The bothersome man", but in the "World of glory" it's shown in a more severe way. We can see what a person has to conceal living in a world that may seem to be perfect from an outsider's viewpoint. The film is said to be a comedy, but I'm far from agreeing with that. As for me, the things shown in the movie are too scary to laugh at.

On the air (by David Lynch)

I never knew Lynch had shot TV series except for "Twin Peaks". But he did.
"On the air" is a sitcom by this fabulous director, filmed in 1992 and telling about the 1950's.

Honestly, I couldn't have imagined a sitcom by Lynch. I've seen only the first episode so far, but I'm going to proceed.

The plot is rather simple - a TV company is trying to put on a live program "The Lester Guy Show", but everything that can go wrong does go wrong. So they have lots of comical troubles, but in the end it's a hit, as their chief tells them by phone.

Of course, the air is full with oddity so characteristic of Lynch. It can be felt mainly in the details, but they are the basis of the whole show. Traditional gags turn into illustrations of absurdity of our life.

So, I'm looking forward to seeing the rest episodes.
