Bloody Mondays & Strawberry Pies (2008)

Narrated by John Malkovich, this imaginative and at times esoteric film works on several levels. It is, first and foremost, a self-confessed movie about boredom. Schrijber uses excerpts from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Notes from the Underground and Bret Easton Ellis's American Psycho as a rubric in which to understand the 'valued' activities of five distinctly different individuals: a thirty-two-year-old New York stockbroker; a pie decorator; a time-infatuated painter; a desert nomad; and The White Mouse, a ninety-six-year-old World War II spy.
