The Bothersome Man- Why?

[jojokerus]

I also got the impression that the film described a sort of hell. Clearly very similar to real life but certain rules (like the consequences of dismemberment) are suspended.

You do realize that all these people are being punished for committing suicide, right? From your short critique, it seems you didn't catch the clearly drawn metaphysical underpinnings of the setting.

Did not read it that way. You appear to be forcing your perception of the film on other people giving them no chance to express their ideas.

Not dissimilar to the characters in the film.

Lighten up. Posting my opinion on Youtube is hardly "forcing [ones] perception...on other people"! And you just, ahem, expressed another idea, so clearly I take away your "chance" to do so.

Watch the film again and look for signs of people committing suicide repeatedly--like the main character did. The setting is clearly post-mortem; the bland, drab lifelessness & repeated suicides & resurrections (to do it again!) confirm this. Up to you to decide if it's "punishment" or not, though.
