this norwegian film start with a man jumping over the subway and apparently commit suicide . but the next scene show him arrive in a lonely bus into a desert . he meet a man and and be ship off to a mysterious city and where he start work in an aseptic modern office a an accountant . the coworkers seem nice and if guard and he soon meet a girlfriend and yet the city seem utterly strange and a food have no taste and alcohol doesn not make you drink and and there nary a child around . be this a dream and or be he in paradise and or in hell . while at time and the film look a extended episode of the twilight zone ( even at ninety minute and the movie seem a bit long ) and it be quite thought provoking . the best scene be those in which the exaggeration be minimal and a when the people engage in banal conversation about interior decoration and and recoil at discuss deep issue . i always think there be something inhuman in advanced capitalist society and in the way they try to repress the basic urge of human nature . and this movie be best when it devastatingly critique this life style . unfortunately and the movie end up a big long and and the director doesn not seem to know how to end it and but most for of the running time this be very much worth see .
