Original, edgy dark comedy. A must see for fans of the absurd.
27 October 2005
Dark, edgy comedy explores the lengths people will go to to maintain the 'integrity' of their creative visions. The title is a little misleading. Who is chasing who? I wonder if Willeford wrote the original novel for his own reasons but threw in the sex and gave it a sleazy title just to sell it (ever heard of an author named Kilgore Trout?) It is more a film about making films and the borderline personalities who do so. An intelligent film, it poses some deep existential questions then delivers the most absurd answers. Patrick Warburton is perfectly suited to the Fruedian film noir style of this flick. Those who appreciate dark comedy, theater of the absurd, and David Lynch flicks (although this is not as extreme or as eccentric as Lynch's films) will appreciate "Woman Chaser." This is one of the most intelligent and original films I have seen. It's on my top ten list and it's not going anywhere.
