Glossary of Broken Dreams is a unique and highly entertaining documentary-style film that explores important political concepts through various mediums such as puppets, animations, live-action footage and even stock footage. The film is presented by Johannes Grenzfurthner, a self-professed 'lumpennerd' who takes the viewers on a journey through the complexities of contemporary politics, society, and culture.
The movie is highly ideotaining, meaning it entertains the audience while educating them at the same time. Grenzfurthner is joined by writer Ishan Raval, who helps him explore and re-evaluate popular political ideas and concepts.
The film tackles several significant concepts such as freedom, privacy, identity, resistance, the market and the left. However, rather than delving deep into these topics in a serious or solemn manner, the movie approaches them in a playful, humorous, and often irreverent way.
Along the way, the film also highlights the absurdity and contradictions of current political discourse and the use of buzzwords that have become so pervasive in public discourse. Glossary of Broken Dreams is a must-watch for anyone interested in contemporary politics and culture and is likely to leave the audience both educated and entertained.
