Overture Written by Josh Schmidt and Performed by Marius De Vries
Chronology
After decades of loneliness, a wealthy family living in a salt mine encounters a stranger. Joshua Oppenheimer described the film as an exploration of whether we as humans can reach a point where our guilt is too much to recover from our past.
Nice environmental background (setting)
Bunker satire and song musical? Well, I’m baffled but intrigued.
It’s not science fiction
There are at least one or two good actors (especially Tilda Swindon), however, they all embody caricatures of snobs, helpers, working class… There’s no backstory, no depth, no reasoning and for some reason one doesn’t even seem to miss a meal after barely surviving something outside, even if one sings well.
The ending is perhaps the best part of this movie
Without spoiling anything, in 3 hours you can expect something like theater with singing and uncovering backstories that you probably could have written yourself for someone you hated (especially if you think global warming should be blamed exclusively on a few rich people).
