Second Class Citizens

About This Movie

So, 'Second Class Citizens' is this quirky comedy from '81 - it has this really offbeat vibe. The pacing feels a bit erratic, but in a way that kinda works for it. The humor is very much of its time, relying on a mix of satire and absurd situations. You can see the practical effects in the gags, which gives it this charmingly low-fi feel compared to today’s standards. The performances are hit or miss; some characters pop while others drift into the background. Themes of societal roles and norms are explored, but it keeps a light tone throughout, making it a curious blend of commentary wrapped in comedy. It's definitely a distinctive piece of cinema from that era.
