Sadly, this film seemed to be very under-appreciated at the time of release back in '96. Perhaps this is because people wanted to see a "likeable" performance by the rubber faced one, and this was just too dark for most viewers. But this is an incredible black comedy which probes the dark side of pop culture, and my prediction is that it will become a cult classic in the years to come and will be recognized for its genius in terms of direction, acting, and style.
