The Experiment

Resembling the screening of “A Clockwork Orange” by Anthony Burgess and Pär Lagerkvist’s “The Dwarf”, “The Experiment” (2010) it's a movie which astounds by the violent realism of its message.
A portrait in the mirror of the humanity within each and everyone of us, an attempt of objectifying and generalizing that particular part, profoundly humane, subjective, which burst out in an antagonistic, coercive context, a hidden, but a strong desire to cry out loud the truth.
The outer knowledge and its awareness become necessities as vital as the need for air, water or food.
Aggressive, but not of a free aggression, the movie is unbelievably complex due to the simplicity with which it chooses to bring forward, on the one hand-the frustration, the fixation, the malice, the carelessness, the ability of standing neuter, the perversity, the illness, and, on the other hand- the pacifism, the love, the care for one another, the justice, the capacity of fighting against its absence- in a word, the movie brings forward the Man.
Suddenly everything becomes unimportant when it comes to survival, when all masks are forced to drop and all lies are forced to vanish one by one; when it comes to being a real person in an unreal game, apparently absurd and lacking rules, which is life itself.
The Experiment is you within this game, and the moral, the conclusion which one educes that there is nothing worse or more indecent than morals, prejudice and false self-knowledge.
One of the movies which does not mean to prove or to teach no one anything. We all know the truth. Its openness is unbearable. As it happens with the openness of the depth and the maturity of this movie's story.
