Part of me wanted to leave this as the last movie on the list just because of the iconic nature of this movie, especially within this genre, but after going through all the options, I came up with one I would much rather leave until the end, even if that movie has reached only a fraction of the viewers this one has and is not very known in general, but we’ll get back to that.
Oh, wow. One of the many production companies for this movie is Silvio Berlusconi Communications, which I can pretty safely assume is a company owned by Silvio Berlusconi, a long time prime minister of Italy with a – let’s say – problematic career.
I don’t really like it when movies feel the need to explain everything.
In a previous instalment I discussed directors, who’s work I might not be the biggest fan of, but I do appreciate their existence. I could have easily added Michael Herz and Lloyd Kaufman (who co-directed this under a pseudonym) to the list.
I don’t know what the situation is exactly currently, but after Lord of the Rings, there was a surge of movies, for better or worse, being made or simply worked on in New Zealand. This does also mean that there are now quite a few professionals, so they can do projects like this.
Ah, Frank Henenlotter. The director we deserve, but not the one we need. Or something.
Sarah Brightman ripping he eyes out? Didn’t expect to ever see that in a movie.
I didn’t even remember what this movie was when I found it in my collection, but it fits the series quite well, so here we are.
The evils of corporate culture.
Daniel Radcliffe has been trying to find his footing after the you-know-what, which will be an albatross around his neck for the rest of his career. He seems to honestly enjoy working as an actor and according to him, he hasn’t even touched the you-know-what money at all, but is living on the money he is making on these other projects. And while the filmography he has beyond you-know-what would be a fine career most actors would be envious of, these movies will always be overshadowed.
