Courtney K @c0urtn3y Jan 30, 2023 this was an interesting little film; i'm not sure if i really liked it all that much though. quirky & funny in parts, but pretty forgettable by the end of it. See more Dec 6, 2011 It's so nice to catch up with old friends. A true outsider classic! Because the big three had everything pretty much locked up, it was hard for anyone to break in from the outside... But then from the north came this plucky little movie that had what it took to make it to the top... because they had a dream! See more Jan 19, 2011 What a bizarre, unique film this is. The film folows a young movemaker whom is trying to make the best "color crime movie". He has the beginning down, and the end down, but just can't seem to figure out what to do in the middle. The daughter of the landlord where this director is staying, becomes fascinated with his work and befriends the director. Now, that being said; this film is very unique in that this director, the main character, has absolutely no dialogue. Everything that the audience learns is through the eyes of this little girl, via narration. Its a really funny unique story. One scene which stood out for me being where all the various crime wave characters from every draft of the moviemakers script are hanging out in the room where he writes. They get drunk, perform odd sexual advances and are just choas, which I can only imagine is an analogy for writers block. I really don't know how to explain this film; its really bizarre and borderline surreal at times. See more Oct 13, 2009 This is a GREAT film! I first saw it in the late 1980s and it took 15 years before I could get my own copy. See more Jul 30, 2009 HEAVENS TO MURGATROID IS THIS MOVIE GREAT!
