Wax or the Discovery of Television Among the Bees (1991)

❤️ Reviewed 28 Jun 2026

Our modern hell state of complicity in the vilest evils as expressed through a sort of wiki conspiracy madness. Simulation substituted for reality, intellect substituted for personhood, all to enable the most deliberate yet thoughtless violence. A journey back to 1945, to 1914, to the barren heart of the nuclear giant, to Biblical murder. Digital special effects game off the shits, canned yet playful and perfectly fitting the disorienting ramble of the narration as the real world of flesh and blood is explicitly reduced to signals to be whirled and manipulated and distorted like so much data.
