Surreal numero-spiritual paranoia in B&W!

Rating: 10/10 (14 September 1998)

I am telling everyone I know that they must see this film. I haven't been this excited about a new movie in a very long time, nor have I ever been so immediately awed by an actor - Sean Gullette gets inside this part and lives it. He is charismatic and very obviously gifted. I can hardly wait to see what Gullette (and everyone else involved) does next. This is no mainstream crowd-pleaser, but it is an intellectually and visually stimulating work of art, with a gripping plot and excellent performances all around. I daresay it's a virtually flawless film.
