A Round of Applause is just so darn weird. We’ve seen stories about people remembering their past lives, but we’ve never seen them able to recall and yearn for their life as pulp in an orange, of all things. We’ve seen fetuses as characters, but we’ve never seen them as a neurotic chainsmoker, tugging at the umbilical cord in complaint. These strange, existential ideas get to amusingly absurd paths, leading to punchlines that aren't expected but pulls out unexpected laughter while making us contemplate the lives we're currently living. Even if the offbeat humor isn’t to your taste, A Round of Applause just feels so original that it’s worth a look.
