Sadness is an Evil Gas Inside of Me [2015] Trailer

Sadness is an Evil Gas Iniside of Me - Season 1
Written & Directed by Stix Omar & Max Boss
Lars Eidinger, Britta Thie, Wen-Hsuan Huang, T-Word
SADNESS IS AN EVIL GAS INSIDE OF ME is an absence of present, set in a future that holds an infinite potential for manifold pasts, pasts that show through the subconscious that determines the objects and spaces that shape this ambiguous future: escalators, pastries, parking lots, microwavable pop corn, highways, deserts and shopping malls.
The series offers little of the spectacle typically inherent to its form. There is almost no spoken dialogue, unless it is for instance part of a commercial break that has managed to bleed into the fabric of the video piece. Instead, a set of disembodied voices leads us through mysterious events with quicksilver charm. “A single moment of true sadness connects you instantly to all the suffering in the world,” one of the voices quotes Chris Kraus. Yet in a tomorrow that might as well still get cancelled due to lack of demand, the hungry bodies that populate it avoid conventional interaction. Connections are appropriately interior in a world of surfaces.
In SADNESS IS AN EVIL GAS INSIDE OF ME, Stix Omar and Max Boss use video as its own form of writing, where images juxtapose, irritate and enhance the spoken word; where the unsayable finds shape and expression. It is a soap opera in the guise of an essay film, or an essay film in soap opera drag. Its main characters are in a constant state of transition, from Mersad towards Yung Corn and from Holidays Bossi to Max, their distant bodies moving rhythmically in isolation. It is an introvert’s soap opera, where conflict, drama and romance aren’t acted out but instead reflect in the brain like the after image of a strobe light.
