#91 Southland Tales (2006)


This is a star-studded 2 1/2 hour sci-fi/black comedy/drama with a winding, confusing storyline. El Paso and Abilene, Texas have been nuked and America is fighting WWIII, the PATRIOT act has been extended requiring VISAs for interstate travel, fluid karma promises unlimited energy, time travel, parties on mega-blimps, cops quoting Phillip K Dick, musical scenes, conspiracy theories, liberal marxist terrorist groups, and floating ice cream trucks emanating a bright light while a draftee rides it and fires off a rocket launcher.

It's utterly crazy and requires further reading to take it all in, but it's brilliant.

4/5

  1. Sounds way too complicated for me. Thanks for the review, though!
