My buddy got a job in the box office of an arthouse theater near the public square where we would all go to loiter and smoke cigarettes, and I ended up seeing a bunch of Peter Greenaway movies, Hal Hartley movies, SLACKER, ROZENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD, etc. Started a bunch of bad habits.

This movie is like a child’s magical post apocalyptic romp in the vein of SUPER MARO BROS (1993), and the two movies would make a reasonable double feature

“I was never much with computers, sir. Now my wife, she really likes whattaya call… expressive, static type systems. And you know, a funny thing… she said these types were structural, sir, not nominal. So it seems to me you *could* have passed a type check after all. Unless I’ve missed something.”

It is heartening, and not entirely beside the point of the piece, that the comments following this absolutely harrowing and terrifying (and brilliant) scalpel of a story are mostly clever people of good faith talking about ice cream, and how awesome it is.
