SHRINKAGE
USA, 2017, Downsizing
Director Alexander Payne's Shrinking is a cinematic experiment of sorts that brings to the fore a range of important themes about human civilization – from issues related to ecology and overpopulation to civil rights, poverty and illegal migration. It is a social satire in which the main character realizes that his life would be better if he shrunk. Because after the procedure he measures only a modest twelve centimeters in height, which corresponds to only 0.00364 percent of the volume of the human body, his body uses much less natural resources. This brings him a more leisurely life in an idyllic settlement of diminutive people called Ležerni gaj.
Directed by: Alexander Payne.
They play: Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Christoph Waltz, Jason Sudeikis, Neil Patrick Harris, Alec Baldwin, Margo Martindale, Maribeth Monroe and others.
