Schizopolis
Directed by Steven Soderbergh1h 39m1996
A man works for the unpleasant guru of a Scientology-like movement.
Our read: Schizopolis (1996) reads as a neutral, breathless, surreal comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook, with a strong directorial signature.
Neutral, breathless, gentle comedy, surreal in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, cold.
