Civilization and Its Discontents (1962)

Directed by Paul Morrissey

Overview

Riffing on Freud, Civilization and Its Discontents is “about a cleansing energy applied to a fallen world. But this time the mode is self-mocking satire. A poet of lye and laughing gas, Morrissey has concocted a new genre: slapstick neorealism.” (Donald Lyons)

Length 45 minutes
