I recall that Joe Bob Briggs picked this flick out as one of the best drive - in movies of the year, if not the best. JBB knows whereof he speaks, although I suppose the term " drive - in " means little to nothing to current audiences. This movie is a contemporary exploration into the pure alienation of a modern man and his efforts to integrate into a society that refuses to accommodate his needs and desires outside of a capitalist system that can only last as long as the cash does. The movie features some scenes of gyrating women in dishabille which initially seems like straight exploitation that will not significantly add to the story, but these shots ultimately prove to be strangely hypnotic images, especially when played against stark images of power lines and quickly moving ominous clouds. There's serious danger and implications of terror lurking underneath the surface of this painful dark comedy. This is a much more sophisticated offering than a lot of the recent high budget Hollywood stuff that gets off with a rave review because it's allegedly symbolic and darkly allegorical and everyone wants to act like they " get it " when there's really nothing to get. If there's a genre for existentialist comedy, then this movie should be at the top of the list.
