this is one quirky little film isn't it??
fuck me. it definitely came out of leftfield for me. i only heard about it film last year when the dvd was released to much praise and relief by film fans everywhere.
there's this insane quality about it that confuses the mind. lol. it's amazing. it's a Monty Python-type confusion that just engulfs the whole thing and swallows you whole. it's a circus act (with the amazingly talented Peter O'Toole at the helm) where you never know what's up and what's down. it's a seriously gratifying piece of work.
Steve Railsback gives one fine performance. he's got this deadness in his eyes that just brings you back to reality every other scene. on the one hand you've got these flights of fancy of the film world and then you're brought right back down to the nitty gritty just by a stare or an emotion that reminds you that the main character is also a fucking ticing timebomb.
it's an amazing piece of work. i'll say that much about the film.
i highly recommend this film to anyone who particularly enjoys film, fiction, and the filmmaking process.
