rated somwhere else before being on flixster. a masterpiece. still not quite true romance though.. haha

I believe John Frusciante when he says that this movie expresses what he is trying to articulate in his music. Genius!
This is a masterpiece definitely. Personality of Vincent Gallo, who plays odd and good-looking guy in the movie, is very ridiculous. It was funny when I first watched him running around the town to piss.
Una película hilarante al mismo tiempo que pensante y profunda, definitivamente una de las mejores películas que he visto
