Overview

This 2022 German art-film from director Julian Rosefeldt is a surreal essay on capitalism, greed, and human nature, set against a dystopian New York populated by strange characters and animals. Starring Cate Blanchett and Giancarlo Esposito, it operates more as a gallery installation than a conventional drama, delivering philosophical monologues about consumerism and civilization. The Neutral label fits because the film critiques broad systemic forces rather than staking out a clear ideological position. Its anti-capitalism angle could read as progressive, but the target is human nature generally, and the cast is diverse without any identity-politics framing. No religion, family structure, or gender themes register meaningfully.
