B-movie on paper, A-movie when viewed
Quite a special and singular film! I was not expecting the movie to go the route it did but I was very glad it did. Most films that go down the absurd path that this did usually end up somewhere in a pool of camp or B-movie status, but this movie has enough plausible meaning, and is written, acted, and delivered with such impeccable talent that it holds ground as a film that can be taken seriously thoroughly in all regards. The concept is quite brilliant and daring and it was pulled off in a manner that is only more impressive as the movie continues – there is intelligence behind it. I was thinking through most of it how it surprisingly didn’t remind me of most other British films or even British humor that I have observed – the only thing I could really place it with is some of the more bizarre Australian books, shows, and films I have taken in over the years. Richard E. Grant honestly gives an Oscar worthy performance in this – he is a maniac, and his range deserves immense praise. The film does feel somewhat inconclusive, but I really don’t have many complaints about it… I am excited to check out the director’s most notable film, Withnail & I, soon.
Insane rollercoaster loaded with intelligent commentary
Fantastic film! Completely original, weird and smart. A completely bonkers plot that weaves together fast paced comedy and gross out body horror to make a vital point on consumerist culture. The off the wall, near one man show of Richard E. Grant is astonishing. High praise all around!
