The setting of a man in pyjamas waking up in an isolated white room, knowing as little as the viewer, is genius
The setting of a man in pyjamas waking up in an isolated white room, knowing as little as the viewer, is genius
The white space is neatly satisfying
Entertainment
A steady stream of absurdity
Many questions keep you hooked
Full of jokes and surprises
We have got static shots, long pauses, and silent moments
Pacing is slow, but time is used well to create momentum
