    Fascinating

    I've seen this movie at a friend's party and was stunned. In showing only security footage, it's a very different look on human behavior than any I've seen before. It feels as if someone was watching human beings like in a zoo (and from a higher viewpoint, hence "The Giant"). It's not a movie you would see for entertainment, but when you look for some kind of meditative waste of time, this is it.
