A picnic slowly turning into a party run like a totalitarian regime when a guy who looks like Adam Sandler and Giovanni Ribisi shows up is definitely an original experience. Very Buñuelesque satire, I really loved how it explores politics as human behavior.

The Exterminating Angel meets The Trial
Seems like it would be right up my alley but I couldn't get into it. Planning to revisit it soon.
