Brilliant...

This is what satire should be - Swift would be proud. The only thing that is better than the amazing cinematography is the dialogue. Though the subject is dark and disturbing, it comes across as one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. The scenes where he describes his taste in music are hysterical! And poor Christie... "She's my... Cousin. She's comes from... France." Simply brilliant. But it also offers some severe social criticism - i.e. materialism/the external and its impact on individual identity. You should watch it a couple of times - it will get funnier (as well as make you think a lot) as you do... particularly the ending.
