Snide and Prejudice

About This Movie

So, 'Snide and Prejudice' from '97 is really something else. It’s got this offbeat vibe, set mostly in a mental institution. The doctor, Dr. Cohen, he's quite the character, pushing his patients—who think they're Nazi big shots—to role-play their delusions. It creates this unsettling atmosphere, with Hitler’s rise played out in absurdity. The pacing is a bit erratic; you get drawn into these therapy sessions, and then, bam, it’s interrupted by the patients’ quirks. The practical effects are minimal but effective, keeping the focus on performances, which are a mixed bag—some really dive deep into their roles, while others feel a bit comical. It’s a film that leaves you pondering the darker aspects of identity and power, wrapped in a unique package.

Unique exploration of delusion and identity.Interesting take on historical figures in a therapeutic context.Pacing and atmosphere create a distinctive viewing experience.
