Gotta admire it when one of the top photos on somebody's IMDb page is a slab of beefcake! So it goes for Austrian actor Laurence Rupp who's the lead in Veni Vidi Vici, an extremely black-hearted class satire that just premiered at Sundance and which I wrote up my thoughts upon over the weekend -- click over to Pajiba to read those. I liked the movie even though I will admit that it is extremely obvious in the blows it lands on the wealthy. Still there's something unsettling about how perfunctory everyone's roles are in the machine that's grinding us all up -- the film makes the despairing case that we're all pretty much helpless in the system we've created, that its gears are beyond our reach and we're all just miserably playing our roles until we've destroyed ourselves, and on my darker days it's hard to find fault with that. Anyway! Happy Monday or whatever!
