The Idiots
“Take a long ride on the short bus.”
A group of perfectly intelligent young people decide to react to society's cult of aimless, non-creative and non-responsible form intellect by living together in a community of 'idiots'. Their primary activity becomes going out into the world of 'normal' people and pretending to be mentally incompetent. They take advantage of this situation to create anarchy, and, by every possible means, to make those around them miserable.
This film feels like an unvarnished, confrontational dive into the boundaries of social behavior. It's a raw, often uncomfortable exploration of liberation and conformity, wrapped in a darkly comedic, anarchic spirit. The Dogme 95 aesthetic amplifies its unsettling intimacy, questioning what it means to truly be free or simply perform.
