Rife with discordant narrative devices and bizarre improvisational dialogue, Jost's projects irritate as many viewers as they enthrall. Even when utilizing a "mainstream" genre, the director enjoys deviating from audience expectations. Angel City is a hallucinatory takeoff of old-time detective thrillers. The protagonist (Bob Glaudini) isn't looking for a missing husband or a murderer; instead, he's combing the Hollywood hills in search of visual truth. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
