It had me thinking of the nature of brutal governments. Here you have a bunch of hedonistic fools having these bureaucrats do this dirty work for them. Very similar to the nazi themes where you have pretty average people become cruel leaders despite their pettiness. The artist under surveillance was too good but became too arrogant and then ultimately betrayed despite his beliefs in good. I would have this 3rd to Pan's Labyrinth and Children of Men in movies I saw for last year.
