The Modern Day Consumer is a curious piece from '87 that dives deep into the psyche of contemporary society. Its animation style feels raw and gritty, almost mirroring the chaotic nature of consumer culture it critiques. You’ve got these bizarre and surreal sequences that portray our daily rituals—eating, mating, and even grooming—like they’re just gears in a vast machine. The pacing is a bit erratic, but it somehow adds to the overall sense of disorientation. What stands out is how it uses simple animation to convey complex themes about dependency and societal constructs. It's not something you see every day, and while the director remains unknown, the film has an unmistakable voice that lingers after viewing.
