A woman who dies because there is dust in the air, returns to earth as a vacuum cleaner in order to protect her family
This is a low key, very dry, very dead pan c omedy that you are going to love or hate. More so when you consider that the film is wildly overlong at 130 minutes. It's absurd in the extreme and not beyond using people who walk funny for laughs.
This is the sort of film that the cineastes will seize upon as something wonderfully wacky and fall down funny while most other people will be left scratching their heads. Yes, I see the humor, but at the same time seeing the humor doesn't mean it works well enough to produce a laugh or even a smile.
This film bored me.Truthfuly it may not be the humor or the story but rather the direction and the presentation. Much of the the film is long static shots, many of which are held longer than they need be, The result is not so much a dry comedy but a partched one.
If you like done dry dead pan humor and don't mind over long tales give the films a try.
