World of Glory

From the off, we are welcomed into a bleak and mostly voiceless world. The protagonist witnesses something appalling, but he and those around him return seemingly nonchalantly to their pale existences nonetheless. What follows is a series of mundane but increasingly elucidating scenes - in that we are witness to (a) man's mental deterioration following a horrifying experience, and his effort to behave as though it had never happened.

In a sense, I felt like this film was a version of someone blabbering when they find themselves in an awkward situation or when they're in trouble - the man has (arguably) been an accessory to a serious crime, but he proceeds with his daily grind, showing us unexciting facets of his life as though to distract us from the misery that he has exposed us to simply be being his audience.
