The Idiots

A seemingly anti-bourgeois group of adults spend their time seeking their "inner idiot" to release their inhibitions, behaving in public as if they were mentally disabled. They do so by spassing, a neologism derived from the Danish equivalent of "spaz", a self-defeating attempt to challenge the establishment through provocation. The group's antics are met with discomfort and curiosity when an unaware diner discovers their act, leading her to take on the challenge herself. The film is a witty and semi-erect exploration of freedom, lifestyle, and social control, shot entirely with digital cameras in compliance with the Dogme 95 Manifesto.
