This specifically European art form plays down the 'comic' and emphasises the provocative and the disturbing. A strange hotel amidst a deserted city, in the aftermath of a war sees the setting for the sordid passengers in a lift who mysteriously descend into the depths of another world. A hedonistic world, where a secret society speeds to its own destruction.
