Our take

Charting an escalating romantic obsession in Fassbinder-fluorescent candy colors, this darkly comic yet defiantly compassionate character study observes the trials of being a wallflower. A visually bold and tragicomic take on the delusions of love, with a voice-over narrated by Anjelica Huston!
