Andrea Sabbadini

Italian short horror movie from 1988.

A charismatic boss shuts himself up in a pokey little niche. His disciples go visit him and hang on his every complaint. The boss realises that the experts are all the same, they reason with their arse and never raise their eyes; despite this he adores them and urges them to spend time with him. A woman regularly keeps their meeting place clean and the disciples dislike her as they hate cleanliness. The charismatic boss doesn’t meet the needs of his “flock” which is getting bigger and bigger, a crowd gathering beneath the niche: a revolt breaks out……

A priest, a psychoanalyst, and a psychic examine the themes around Lukas Moodysson's 'Container'.
