A Partial Theory of Commodity Fetishism in 3 Scenes (+ epilogue)

The products of the human brain appear as autonomous figures endowed with a life of their own, which enter into relations, both with each other and with the human race. So it is in the world of commodities with the products of men's hands. I call this the fetishism which attaches itself to the products of labour as soon as they are produced as commodities. It is nothing but the definite social relation, between men, themselves, which assumes here, for them, the fantastic form of a relation between goldfish crackers, haunted furniture, and poop.

Directed by Spencer Parsons, A Partial Theory of Commodity Fetishism in 3 Scenes (+ epilogue) leans on a strong ensemble — Frank V. Ross, Siddhartha Rajan, Trevor Dawkins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 0.
