Outsider

“What is robbing a bank compared to the crime of founding a bank?”      Brecht

            Outsider is an anarchist gangster movie, comedy, and parable about an underdog who rebels without a cause and is finally destroyed in a meaningless society.
N., 33 and unemployed, traverses through the labyrinths of bureaus and offices, making
a living by swindling. His petty crimes slowly become serious offenses manifested
as terrorist actions against consumer society. He escapes to Africa to find peace.
Outsider is a latter-day sci-fi: it takes place in a world where consumer society
is an institutionalized, ideological system. The grotesque situations, however, could take place anytime in the present, even in our own society; the story teeters on the razor’s edge
of reality and an absurd world.
The European part of Outsider is an hour of radically fast-paced action with self-reflexive montage and image associations. The black and white, cinemascope picture is filled with hard contrasts, almost like graphic art; the lighting and filters reduce everything to lines
and patches. Split screen images represent the main character’s fantasies, past, and environment. The pixilation inserts condense into seconds the hidden socio-economic mechanism running through everything.
Juxtaposed to these are the thick, intense, drawn-out dolly shots of the African episode,
a slow-motion, psychedelic road movie. 
Outsider deliberately combines genres, constantly altering the tone.
The basic story is a blend of comedy and an anarchist gangster film. The love story
is an erotic chamber drama. The African section is a road movie. The peeping storyline
is cinema verité,the interviews and pixilation are pseudo-documentaries, while the parts
in color are parodies.
