a surreal set out of a really modular franchise furniture location. Not a new idea if you remember the children’s book Corduroy, but fascinating as an ensemble production and a timestamped cultural product.

Ikea Heights is a melodrama shot entirely in the Burbank California Ikea Store without the store knowing.

The music cues are especially clever and droll. It’s so much better that they focus on parodying the aesthetics of contemporary melodrama rather than older versions of the same thing.
