i loved this movie since the first scene, it felt weird, intriguing and mysterious, it was visually impressed with this gore, weird and bizarre movie, He was able to foresee the importance of television for mankind, influencing people with sublimated messages, manipulating audiences and becoming very powerful, and how violence on screen can generate violence. I particularly like the following quotes: "The television screen is the retina of the mind's eye"
As mentioned, every element of this film works. There are amazing set-pieces (throbbing televisions and gurgling video cassettes) and moments of beautiful photography (the shots of Renn approaching the harbor for instance), it is a breathtaking film with its bizarre nature.
james woods is at his best here as man who constantly into this surrealistic world and things happening to him.
He has always been one of my favorite actors and brings to Renn a level of sleaziness which is portrayed here brilliantly by him
shame not many movies are as imaginative as this these days.
have your say.
