art+film+vienna: Policy Wonks

Sean Grattan’s political satire targets the unholy alliance of greed, self-optimization, and a readiness for violence at the heart of the fictional Bureau of Advancement.
Viewers will need strong nerves — Policy Wonks is a political document of our time, demanding intense focus with its dense, text-driven structure. But those expecting shocking imagery of orange-toned leaders or toxic nerds, as seen in daily news cycles, can breathe easy.
With a seemingly harmless aesthetic, the film makes the ideological radicalism of the worldviews it examines all the more surreal — and all the more striking.
