I already wanted to see this movie but your review really sells it.
To add one for Weird Catholic Book Day, I'm partial to Muriel Spark's bizarre "whydunnit" commentary on free will about a woman seeking a man to kill her, The Driver's Seat. The book was adapted into a film staring Elizabeth Taylor with major cameo from Andy Warhol, and Spark herself *may* have been a fellow queer Catholic.
I'll second both Redeployment and Pelican as great books!
Boo to allegories, and huzzah to symbolic tales with rich resonance!
Ha, I will always defend allegories! I like them! But ISTTVG was better for going in a more mysterious, dreamlike direction.
*frowns in "Pilgrim's Progress is overrated*
Well, de gustabus non disputandum, however that goes.
But you convinced me that ISTTVG is intriguing...

Great review I’ll check it out. If you haven’t seen “The Adventures of Pete and Pete”. You really should probably the best show nickelodeon ever made.
