film lovers gem, under appreciated by general public

Rating: Null/10 (19 November 2001)

I work at a large video store chain in the US that ISN'T Blockbuster, and I heartily recommended this to customers as the best movie I had seen in two years. On more than one occasion, customers would bring it back the very next day saying this was the worst movie they had ever seen and demanded their money back!! What the hell?? I was speechless. Only the hardcore film buffs really appreciated this film for what is was. Everyone else was jarred by it's non-conventional approach, which is really what makes it such a masterpiece. Just another incident that speaks volumes about the American general public's film tastes. They make me sick.
