Never take the elevator if there's only one other person in it.

I can't get over how much the "arty" stuff plays like a parody of arty student films, only in complete seriousness.

I wonder if they were also trying, and failing, to make it like a Giallo film. With the more arty stuff and the weird dream sequences. The soundtrack seems to have that influence. Although it also could just be a cheap off the shelf synth one

The Python reference is not too far fetched. There is a a Flying Circus sketch about a fictitious Frederico Fellini film, represendet by the clip of a bizarre game of cricket. It's a double spoof, completely over the top and void of any logic. But it would fit seamlessly into THE JAR at any given point.

Maybe it’s the same jar The Goodies had? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v3p7_sxZIeY

Unless someone else also suggested it, I guess it is my fault for subjecting you to such a rotten film. I really thought it was going to be too awful and too boring for a good review, but you did what you did best and knocked it out of the park.
