Being There is a satirical comedy-drama starring Peter Sellers as Chance, a simple-minded gardener whose worldview is shaped entirely by television. After his employer’s death, Chance’s innocent demeanor and simple gardening metaphors are hilariously mistaken for profound wisdom by society’s elite. The film expertly combines humor and social commentary, offering a timeless critique of media, politics, and superficiality. With its witty award winning script and standout performances, Being There remains a must-watch classic.
