The Soul of Business

About This Movie

The Soul of Business is a quirky 1996 comedy that dives into consumer culture through the absurdity of a couple who seem straight out of an ad campaign. Their breakfast scene feels like a parody of corporate marketing, but then things take a turn as their obsession with branding evolves into a surreal defense of their culinary choices. It’s not just about the products; it’s about identity and how deeply ads can seep into our lives. The pacing is a bit uneven, shifting from sharp satire to moments of genuine oddity. There’s a certain charm in the performances, particularly in how they navigate the thin line between humor and commentary. The practical effects are minimal yet effective, keeping the focus on the couple’s increasingly bizarre dialogue and interactions. Definitely one for those who appreciate the nuances of advertising’s impact on everyday life.
