Comma Boat

About This Movie

Comma Boat is a fascinating dive into a chaotic mock-authoritarian world, where Trecartin’s character grapples with his own delusions of grandeur and crippling self-doubt. The film has this oddly frenetic energy, blending absurdity with a surreal atmosphere that feels like a fever dream. You can't help but notice the practical effects—there's a raw, tactile quality to everything that enhances the weirdness. The pacing is erratic, which mirrors the protagonist's mental state, creating a kind of disorientation that sticks with you. It's not just a comedy; it probes into themes of identity and power in this bizarre, almost dystopian setting. Definitely a unique piece in the realm of postmodern cinema.
