Alain de Botton's 2004 documentary based on his book Status Anxiety, running over two hours. It asks why people in rich societies are still unhappy, and examines how worries about success, snobbery and meritocracy drive that anxiety.

Hacker News 读者推荐理由: HN recommends it as an illuminating, eye-opening long-form take on status, luck and how we judge the successful and unsuccessful.

“This doc is eye-opening”
