From Erik Gandini

IMDB

Quote :: Surplus: Terrorized Into Being Consumers is a 2003 Swedish documentary film on consumerism and globalization, created by director Erik Gandini and editor Johan Söderberg. It looks at the arguments for capitalism and technology, such as greater efficiency, more time and less work, and argues that these are not being fulfilled.

Great

Very original documentary. I really loved the way it is made, the montage and editing are excellent. Really not a conventional documentary, more like a music video type montage mixed with different speaches. Great soundtrack as well.
yess

Maybe I would have made a few different choices on what to show but it is really one to watch yess

i've seen this one at school :-)

gives a very extreme image, with a fundation of truth, but also alot of halt-truths imo

but it's always risky to make something in this theme/topic

just gotta be able to filter out the "less essential" or "half truths" out of it i guess

part of developing the critic eye Smile

so it's definately recommended material imo
