Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's central critique is existential and artistic, focusing on individual disillusionment and the superficiality of modern life without advocating for a specific political solution or aligning with a partisan ideological framework.
The movie features traditional European casting without explicit diversity initiatives. Its narrative focuses on the psychological decline of its white male protagonist, offering a critique of fame and society rather than explicitly addressing or negatively framing traditional identities from a diversity, equity, and inclusion perspective.
Secondary
The film uses the backdrop of Catholic Italy and the premise of a 'Catholic Western' to highlight spiritual emptiness and the commodification of faith. Religious symbols are present but offer no genuine solace or moral guidance to Toby Dammit, underscoring a pervasive spiritual decay and the protagonist's profound despair.
Toby Dammit, a segment from 'Spirits of the Dead,' explores the existential crisis of a British actor in Rome. The narrative is entirely focused on his personal descent into madness and does not include any discernible LGBTQ+ characters, relationships, or themes, resulting in no depiction.
