This Modern Man Is Beat (2015)
Fantastic Visuals, Somewhat Weak in Story and Dialogue
15 February 2024
In terms of pure audiovisual quality, the film met and exceeded my expectations. The environment is well established through good color grading (that avoids falling into the Breaking Bad trap of "desert equals yellow") and fantastic audio design. However, as mentioned by some other commenters, the film somewhat fails in presenting the characters as multidimensional and complex. The main character is introduced through a somewhat unnatural dialogue sequence, which seems more like a dream than a pawn shop interaction, and the developments that follow are not explicated well enough to merit any sort of goodwill towards the characters.
