Very enjoyable buffer overflow!

I saw GOBD at the Vermont International Film Festival. Loved every overbearing second of it. I'd call it a braindump on stages of disappointments with persistent political ideologies. Being embedded deeply in leftist, political nerd culture, the movie tries to address topics in depth, and as the filmmaker stated in the Q&A, he couldn't have dumbed it down further. It's also a marvelous trip through film styles and packed with popcultural inside jokes. Buffer overflow! (Can't believe I'm giving a doc with a political agenda 8 stars. I've never done that before! I usually like films about animals!)

Colorful documentary

A colorful film about politics and the problems of political thinking in the age of internet culture. It is insightful and very funny. Only problem I have is that it is a bit too fast. It is almost impossible to follow all the threads, references and jokes. I'm not an English native speaker, so maybe that's part of the problem, but, very well deserved 7 stars from me. Hope that there will German subtitles in the future....

Gleefully taking apart buzzwords

"Glossary of Broken Dreams" definitely has an interesting concept: what kind of buzzwords do we use in our (social media thread) bubbles, but most people don't really understand what they mean? Through a series of short vignettes and using pop culture as the prime example, that concept succeeds in more ways than one. It's one of more entertaining documentaries I've seen and it's massively thought-provoking. Highly recommended!

Wunderwelt of Politics

In a wild collage of puppets, pixels, stop motion and live action stock footage, Austrian auteur Johannes Grenzfurthner gives us an insight into his mind and ideology with this cinematic revue about politics.

At its core, "Glossary Of Broken Dreams" is a rant against society in form of a list of words and concepts. A glossary of today's issues. The why's and how's. The way it's all put together is amusing. So was I entertained? Yes. Yes I was. Even though it was a little fast for the information being presented... it was still entertaining.

Check it out. I will definitely rewatch it.

Be warned

Not a classic documentary. Very unsual combination of political comedy and high-level academic theory. Sounds strange, is strange, but I couldn't stop watching. "Monty Python" plus "The Big Short" plus "Muppets."

I, for one, welcome our new socialist overlords.
