Sick Of Myself - 2022 - 7/10
AKA - Syk Pike
Self-preening in the age of narcissism.
Some bleat that “look at me” is unique to our current era. Au contraire.
Narcissists are older than Gyges. Signe and boyfriend Thomas continue an endless line.
Thomas is an up-and-coming hot artist, whose “sculptures” are from stolen items.
Signe is an attention wannabee. She embellishes, deceives, fabricates.
Not enough to sustain interest, however, as she discovers.
Until she physically disfigures herself, then lying that hers is a rare disease.
My anger at these social failures soon gave way to laugh out laughter.
Very black comedy about one of the countless societal diseases afflicting our species.
