23 February 2003. With biting humor, a wry sense of the absurd and some great off-beat acting by some well-known actors, this movie presents an excellent look at a young man growing up in the rich and powerful society and indirectly looks at death and the surrealistic world that in some ways may parallel our own youth's obssession today with a new generational way of thinking and behaving. This involving and slanted/angled view to view, breaks ground in American cinema by introducing European avante garde, new wave nihilism, rejecting the customary beliefs in morality and religion. But at the same time, it reveals a deeper subset of emotions and meanings in life that are becoming even more relevant in our lifetime.
