So, 'The Game of Tag' is a pretty provocative documentary that’s part installation piece, really. It juxtaposes these two starkly different environments – a basement and a gas chamber from a Nazi prison camp – where a group of nude adults engage in a seemingly innocent game of tag. The tone is unsettling, and the atmosphere teeters on the edge of playful and grotesque. You feel this tension, like a simmering discomfort throughout. The pacing is deliberately slow at times, forcing you to grapple with the implications of the setting. The practical effects are minimal, focusing on raw human interaction. It's distinctive for how it navigates themes of freedom, innocence, and the grotesque aspects of history intertwined with human play.
