Description:
When Earth becomes uninhabitable, cockroaches are rumored to be the only survivors. Filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer presents a darkly humorous look at wealth and self-destruction, focusing on these resilient insects. Tethered by ribbons, the cockroaches navigate magazine spreads depicting an ideal lifestyle as a disturbed voice narrates, like someone in a mental institution reminiscing about a time of abundance and roach traps. The film portrays consumption and consumerism as meaningless and obsessive, presented as a natural history documentary disguised as an invasion story, all set to the music from LOVE STORY.
