Still Life and the loneliness crisis (Tubi Dumpster Dives).
About this episode
The episode discusses the film 'Still Life' and its exploration of loneliness and duty in the context of a civil servant's work.
On this episode of Tubi Dumpster Dives, I manage to pull out a gem in Uberto Pasolini's 2013 film "Still Life" about a quiet London civil servant who administers the last affairs of recently deceased destitutes and vagrants. It provides a nuanced look into middle age male loneliness, the tragic but necessary affairs of one's passing, and the nature of duty in the face of faceless institutional bureaucracy.
