Lumbago

About This Movie

So, 'Lumbago' offers this bizarre yet strangely relatable ride through office life. Picture a businessman who just won’t quit with his over-the-top anecdotes, dragging two colleagues into this spiraling narrative that shifts between mundane and surreal. The pacing is kind of erratic, which fits the fever dream vibe, blending real moments with absurdity. It's comical, sure, but it also digs into themes of power dynamics and the monotony of work life. The performances are noteworthy; the leads really pull you into their frustration and bewilderment. And there's a kind of practical effect play with transitions that makes the whole thing feel like a wild trip. It's distinct, in a wobbly, off-kilter way, and not like your standard office comedy.
