A man wakes up alone in a brightly illuminated white room with no windows or doors. When he presses a mysteriously phallic protuberance that appears on one wall, a pink toothbrush materializes from nowhere, clattering to the floor and setting in motion a genuinely bizarre chain of events. Soon the imprisoned man is engaged in absurd attempts to escape the gleaming room, releasing random objects from the walls, Meanwhile, in a dusty town, a green masked Mexican wrestler known as Escargot Man prepares for an important match.
Symbol is a film that's half hilarious and half crazy. It's wonderfully incomprehensible for the larger part of the film, until you start to see the bigger picture. It was made by the same guy who directed the also very funny and also bizarre Big Man Japan (2007). If you want to see something whacky and different from most other films, Symbol is one of your safest bets.
Genre: Comedy/Fantasy
