Aroview: A wrinkling middle-aged punk and his soon-to-be-unemployed middle-class brother attempt to spark a cultural revolution by staging a demonstration inside of a soulless shopping mall.
Ticklish send up of capitalist ideology and anarchist behaviour is particularly successful at blending broad humour with dark themes, with its chalk-and-cheese leads a comic revelation as wannabe anti-authoritarians. Winner of the Cannes Un Certain Regard in 2012.

3 stars (Good Enough) There are some nice touches to the humour even if the satire doesn't always work. A good try all round and at least the material and the approach is fresh. ~Tubbs
