Brilliant, beautiful, wistful black comedy., 17 April 1999
10/10
Author: Bill Van Dyk from Kitchener, Ontario

Wonderful sad film about the tragedy of a sensitive soul in conflict with a society that is brutal, vulgar, and obscene. One of the most unusual films ever made-- daring and audacious, and richly rewarding. And the Tom Waits songs on the sound track are just right for this movie: melancholy and off-beat.
