Laid Off

Now playing in the YouTube Screening Room: http://www.youtube.com/ytscreeningroom


If you thought life was bollocks, wait till you get a load of death. We follow the recently deceased Martin (1966-2003) as he comes to this conclusion in Zam Salim's thoughtful but stimulating black comedy.

The building he entered was HAUNTED, for souls in limbo like him, that's why he had the ability to open the door. And the ''going up'' thing is a decision to go to heaven, which is what he has been waiting for, in this sort of purgatory-like experience. Just saying.

I'm reading these comments, and I have a question for the class: Do wonder at all why this is called"Laid Off"? Do you think the title could offer some clues as to what this is about? Do you always need to be hit over the head to understand things?
