NOTES

Title from title frames

This Golden Globe nominated comedy begins with one simple conceit: God exists, and He’s a jerk. He lives in a high-rise apartment in Brussels and never gets out of His pajamas. He takes sadistic delight in dreaming up new “laws” to torment humanity, and He’s a petty tyrant to his wife and ten year-old daughter, Ea. Like her brother before her, Ea has had enough of her Father’s abuse and when she spies the right opportunity, she hacks into His computer and leaks to the entire world—by text message—the only thing He has over them: their inevitable death date. Nominated for a **Golden Globe** for Best Foreign Language Film. Official Selection at the **Cannes Film Festival**. “*Wickedly amusing! A surreal comedy whose endless visual imagination matches its conceptual wit.*” - Stephen Holden, **The New York Times**
