Not overtly political or surrealist
This is a good film, but from some of the other comments you might get the wrong idea of it. The story here is exceedingly simple and straightforward. There is no surrealism a la "The Exterminating Angel".
The film is about laziness and sloth. And it will frighten anyone who struggles with laziness or feeling overly comfortable in their lives.
While you can certainly theorize about laziness on a the level of social classes, there's no obvious indication that the film is supposed to be carrying a political message.
It's great that the film makes you think, but let's avoid forcing everything through the lens of our political ideology.
