Bloody Mondays & Strawberry Pies

Dir(s): Coco Schrijber

Program: World Showcase

Run Time: 87 | Netherlands  | Language: (Subtitled in English) Arabic Dutch English French 

Boredom has a bad rap. We exert enormous amounts of energy to keep it and all its incarnations-tedium, apathy, ennui-at bay. Schopenhauer, who sung boredom's praises, defined it as a "tame longing without any particular object." Other philosophers, writers, and artists have recognized boredom and loneliness as essential to the creative process. As Nietzsche said, "He who completely entrenches himself against boredom also entrenches himself against himself." Bloody Mondays & Strawberry Pies evocatively explores the negative and positive effects of boredom on the human condition. A Wall Street stockbroker, the last living female spy of the Second World War, a painter who has been painting "Time" for the last 42 years, and the infamous Brenda Spencer who, at 16, shot 11 people because she didn't like Mondays are among the main characters. Narrated by John Malkovich, Bloody Mondays is intriguing, compelling, and so not boring-but in a good way. Shannon Abel.
