I understand what a classic movie is. That's why I mentioned "Arsenic and Old Lace" (1944) in my last post. Perhaps you are referring to the post I responded to regarding "Night of the Comet"? Which (of course) is an eighties movie. In this post I acknowledge that it's not a classic. However, I understand your need to reiterate structure and protocol in regards to the forum description. After all it might turn into total chaos and anarchy setting off a series of events that signals the end of the world, right? Ha ha. Indeed.

Wristcutters: A Love Story
A whimsically profound story that takes place in a purgatory world where suicides live. What would a world be like that was inhabited only by people who had comitted suicide? It's a pretty funny world, actually- even if nobody ever smiles. This is the driest dark comedy I've ever seen, and the three leads who find themselves on a road trip in this world, each for their own reasons, travelling in a rundown car with a black hole in the floor, are perfectly cast. I particularly enjoyed Eugene, a young musician of Russian ancestry who comitted suicide by pouring beer onto his electric guitar and electrocuting himself. Tom Waits turns up, as does the guy who played Jerry on ER, and the lead of that awful Fearnet movie Catacombs. Turns out she can really act. One of the best and most varied assembled soundtracks I've come across, with music by Tom Waits, Artie Shaw, Gram Parsons, Screaming Lord Sutch, Del Shannon, Joe Meek and a trio of tunes by Gogol Bordello, a post-modern Balkan cabaret outfit that add immeasurably to the atmosphere. Watch this if you get a chance. |
