This was originally released in 1998, but I first saw it... sometime in the early 2000s, on Exposure. I'm writing this review after watching it again online in 2018.

So... there's this guy who works in factory making a product called "Happy," but he himself is clearly not happy. Eventually, he uses... I guess his memories of true happiness... to create a new product called "Bliss." So, he becomes hugely successful. But there is rather a sad, ironic twist to the story. I really don't know what else to say about the plot. It's definitely a decent and memorable little film, and I suppose one might call it a cautionary tale, of a sort. Very much worth watching, though not something I can really manage to appreciate quite as much as it perhaps deserves.
