For many reasons, more than familiar and , for that, pretty realistic story. A family - parents, a daughter, a son. Their dialogue reminding a play by Eugen Ionesco. A visitor who sitts on a chair for one year, by controlling each member of family.
For an Eastern European, the stranger reminds a relative who stay very long time at host, a populist politician , the policy in clash against selfishness and hubris or balls, the people as objects in totalitarian regime and the abuses ignored by fear, by majority. And , sure, the absurd dialogue, situations, the Stockholm syndrome completing the circle.
In short , a good film for remind lattent menaces.
