Perhaps a perfect thing
22 June 2022
As has already been mentioned in other reviews, this film is absolutely surreal. It's really quite a unicorn of a film. I would LOVE to know Tom Schiller managed to get it made without the studio intervening, because this is ultimately a very sweet and accessible art film. It's so charming and unique, and probably wouldn't be as special if it had been a wide release that sadly would have struggled in the 80s film market. This really deserves a Criterion-quality remaster and reissue. The lightly dystopian retro-futurism makes the whole narrative feel slightly uncanny, but this world populated by weird and frantic characters somehow keeps the protagonist's journey relatable. Magnificent late night viewing.
