Not a very nice watch

Warning: Spoilers
"Very Nice, Very Nice" is a 7-minute black-and-white short film from 1961, so this one is already 55 years old. It was written and directed by Arthur Lipsett and if you look at the man's origins, you should not be surprised that the National Film Board of Canada produced this short film. They have a great history with the Oscars and this one here also scored an Academy Award nomination, which made it Lipsett's biggest success. I myself did not really enjoy the watch though. It was pretty relevant back then I am sure with all the things and people it depicts, but the voices we hear seem very random and I felt that this movie lacked order and structure. And even if this was probably Lipsett's intention even, it hurt the viewing experience for me personally. I cannot agree with the Oscar nomination and a win would have been way too much. Not recommended.
