Palm Springs and The Meaning of Life

In this video, we explore how the philosophy of Albert Camus helps illustrate the meaning of life in the 2020 film, Palm Springs. (Yes, we’re aware of Groundhog Day and that we could’ve done a similar analysis of Ramis’ work).
Mouthfilm is a collective that makes video essays deconstructing all types of films and their intersection with culture at large.

Sarah: 'I can survive just fine without you. But there is a chance that life can be a little less mundane with you in it.' Absolute sparks!

Is this Andy Samberg's Punch Drunk Love? Dramatic chops waiting to be unleashed. 10/10 video!

It may very well be. We'd love to see him do more of these.
