WhoMadeWho 'Running Man & The Sun' by William Stahl

David Knight - 6th June 2012

Here we get Sides A and B of 'The Pitfalls of Modern Man' - a double helping of life among successful and prosperous yet very unhappy men working at 'Umlaut Creative'- run by WhoMadeWho's Tomas Barfod - from the perspective of two different employees: the HR guy who makes the other employees fill out a list entitled "10 things to do before you turn 40"; and Barfod's ambitious, resentful second-in-command... The narrative and the suspense add a new level to the message of material success breeding dissatisfaction and despair. Now its a satire on the modern 'creative' workplace, where envy and violence are also bubbling under the surface. And now its all going to kick off... Superb. http://www.youtube.com/watchv=ucQ3lc4lkhY&feature=related
