In this parody of the Ten Commandments, Jesus asks Moses what has really become of those Commandments. The subsequent, independent sketches are a mirror of the times in which violence, hypocrisy and cruelty run rampant.
In this parody of the Ten Commandments, Jesus asks Moses what has really become of those Commandments. The subsequent, independent sketches are a mirror of the times in which violence, hypocrisy and cruelty run rampant. The linking element between the different sketches is a man who tries to repair his bicycle after it has been smashed up by policemen. As an encore, the film gives a trenchant answer to the question whether film should provide art or entertainment.
