Anybody watch Vivarium? (I liked it a lot)

Posted by Kilcra - 9 days ago


(Spoiler warning just in case) I liked the movie. Very artsy and imaginative, and full of allegories that are easy to unpack.


To me it was about the suffocating reality of suburban living. They're raising a child that behaves in a way that's completely foreign to them (because they're in a different generation), burying themselves in their work to escape, and losing their love of life as they get older (no taste, they don't understand what's on TV). Like their whole lives get consumed by a child that's part of a lifestyle neither of them were ready for. They wanted a home, and they got something completely alien to them, inside a maze of inescapable mundaneness. It's like a dark psychedelic take on the American dream.


Anybody else watch it? I want thoughts.
