Review of Generation P (2011) by Kenneth G — 25 Feb 2013
Generation P is one of the masterpieces of this generation. Many critics have fans have missed the central theme of the book and the film - the violently postmodernist critique of a consumerist society.
A society where you must "sell" everything. A wonderful celluloid transformation of a really great book, it abounds in magic realism, myths and fantasy to depict a society which can not be analyzed without these tools.
The film is an acerbic attack on the advertising community and the hallucinatory effect on the masses and the reference to the mythological characters make it an even more engaging. With its use of magic realism, the film comes very close to the Latin American tradition of literature which makes it an even more illuminating film.
