The abstract, instructive side of Jim's nature doesn't like Tracy's campaign, feeling that every election should have at least two candidates. But Payne instead spins Election in a variety of unexpected directions, coming up with a film that continuously surprises the viewer with every subsequent scene. Payne's direction is equally impressive, with many thoughtful touches that are both unusual and funny.
Election is a film that consistently entertains, offering a few belly-laughs in the process.
Good transfer, DD 5.1, commentary with Payne.
