Humble but effective
FAQ is an low-budget and early work full of boldness and imagination. If you are looking for a sci-fi blockbuster you'll hate it. FAQ is an "arty", serene, captivating, hypnotic and disturbing dystopia which flows in the vein of best 70's sci-fi. Its bouquet reminds one of THX-1138, Silent Running, La Jétee, Phase IV... All that forgotten stuff. The plot is simple apparently but deep and complex, contemplative but caustic simultaneously. Cast are cold but efficient. Score is charming. Set design and direction are amazing. In short, "FAQ" is an eccentric titbit for gourmets.
Captivating
It's hard to explain what "FAQ" is. Strange, original, fascinating... I didn't like it at first viewing. But I dreamt about it that night. Then I watched it again and again and finally it beat me. Now I love this odd dystopia. With no doubt one of the greatest film dystopias ever made.
nilistic trash
Everything about this film is ugly, the dialogue, the plot, the characters. its self indulgently nilistic and its 'abstractness' is skitzophrenic. Women treat men like trash, every conversation is castrating. The women blow up the Eifiel Tower, every crime is punished by death by torture. Sickness pretending to be deep.
