Moderna människor

About This Movie

Moderna människor is this quirky little gem from '83 that really leans into the absurdity of holiday cheer. It’s a satire, sure, but it’s less about the story and more about the bizarre tableau of characters—like that manic-cleaning dwarf who steals every scene. The pacing is a bit off-kilter, which adds to its charm, making it feel like an odd dream you can’t quite shake. The visuals have this strange, almost theatrical quality, which might not be everyone's cup of tea but definitely sets it apart. Themes of consumerism and the pressure of the perfect holiday swirl around the eccentricity, creating a distinctly offbeat viewing experience.

Finding a copy of Moderna människor can be quite the challenge since it hasn't seen a wide release or restoration over the years. The formats available are limited, mostly to VHS and some underground DVD burns, which adds to its allure among collectors. It’s definitely a niche interest but those who appreciate the offbeat and absurd will find it a fascinating piece of holiday cinema worth tracking down.
