You probably got it right. There are subtleties there, but the nihilism or decadence or whatever you care to call it, is right upfront.

The story: man loses job. Man changes his way of living. Man's new lifestyle really disturbs people. Man is murdered.

Some things that are alluded to: The American Dream, mistaken first impressions-or the truth behind the mask, alienation, does the job or economic status define the person? You could make a list.

For all that, if it did not have a powerful emotional effect, it wouldn't be worth much.

I agree with you about art being provocative. It must be at least that.
