“1.99 is a kind of ‘The Exterminating Angel’ of the globalization and neo-liberalism. … In a time where we consume the war from our couches, with pizza and Coca Cola on our laps, the movie unflinchingly highlights our decent into immobility. 1.99 (take the bargain; it’s a clearance!) is a movie about individualism fed by Prozac, happiness nurtured by Nintendo, memory managed by Microsoft, and consciousness controlled by CNN.” Arlindo Machado in ‘Selling Silence’
Official selection of São Paulo Film Festival and Rio de Janeiro Film Festival
