水務員走入神秘大樓查水表,明明是簡單任務卻怪事連連,家家戶戶敲門不應,還有一對雙胞胎不發一語緊緊跟隨。總算有個房間能進去,又被陌生女子一拳打昏,醒時已成階下囚。大樓如迷宮,房間如牢籠,不只在死灰水泥牆與高反差燈光包圍下,散發強烈幽閉恐懼,還有眾多面容慘白、執念纏身、行為瘋狂的住戶們,紛紛阻撓他離開。聽說「管理員」那兒有打開大門的鑰匙,然而為了逃離,水務員也得讓自己成為怪物⋯⋯。
劇場出身的新銳導演,以貝克特「荒謬劇場」式的殘酷幽默與誇張表演,搭配一絲不苟的精準調度與抽象化的極簡場景,駕馭象徵性濃厚的小人物無端落難故事。宛如瑞典電影怪才洛伊安德森遇上卡夫卡小說,每一格都精雕如畫,每一秒都是存在本質提問。
The film is a Kafkaesque tale of an insignificant Water Inspector who arrives at a giant remote building in order to register the residents’ water meters. Before he knows of it, he finds himself trapped inside the building facing an “Alice in NO-Wonderland”-like maze of obstacles. In his attempt to escape, perception of reality, the rational, and the remnants of his human existence is turned upside down.
