I guess it’s just the premise.
Retiree transforms his life and solves all his problems by doing exactly what he was going before only... more carefully? And duel is certainly absurdist.
I enjoyed the film, but I think it’s intention is largely opposite what is being received here.

- C-x_C-f 5y agoWhile the video certainly contains absurdist elements (the duchess scene gets me every time), I've always seen it as being sincere in tone. It feels a bit like a fable or a parable, in that it contains deliberately unrealistic parts to get the point across, but remains in good faith nonetheless.
