It serves as a thriller because what happens is so unexpected, you catch yourself shocked and goofy. The film is minimalistic and does not use too many subplots or characters when telling a particular story.
Our characters are put in difficult situations, which seemingly can be sorted without gore and bloodshed. These people/families include- a police general fed up with reckless driving, a man on parole who is unable to protect his daughter from a kidnapper, a family hit with a tax raid, an art exhibitioner whose boudoir art forms are disrespected, a family with a tenant who won’t pay the rent or leave and husbands with wives who are unfaithful.
We meet six different people, whose names are never so explicitly mentioned. But that is the fun of the absurdity in this film, that it never hits your moral but simply adds the satire it represents in your life. At times you’d laugh at the wrong instances and find it offensive that you just laughed, maybe at someone being murdered or abused. The story feels absurd but necessary and relatable. Watching this film somehow reminds you of the style Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos uses in his story, especially in the 2015 film The Lobster. – (Trigger Warnings: Violence, Bloodshed) – The Land: Six Life Changing Incidents – Netflix’s The Land review does not contain spoilers –
