Grandeur of Delusions

Non Compos Mentis will put awful high budget movies to shame. It was done on zero budget, yet it looks like it had a decent budget to accomplish all the hard work that went into this movie. The collaborations of amazing artists made this movie a beautiful work of art. The scenes were shot with great attention to detail, such as the contrast, angles, and lighting. The film is heavy with dialogue that includes philosophical and psychological matters, yet the hilariousness of the film balances out the heavier subject matters. As a fan of character studies, this film did not disappoint. The actors were cast perfectly to portray these mostly neurotic characters. The witty dialogue had me bursting out with laughter at moments, and then in deep analysis at other times. I left the theater in awe.
