Review of Existo

Existo (1999)
10/10
No sacred cows here!
24 September 1999
I thoroughly enjoyed this film and recommend it highly. While it is most definitely an "art" film, it's not the angst ridden, woe-is-me, aren't I cool in my terminal boredom sort.

Unlike many independent films, neither the protagonists nor the antagonists are shown in an exalted light.

The dialogue is brilliant, witty and quick. The art direction and performances are engaging. What I found most impressive, however was the music. It seemed to be crossbred between David Byrne, Tom Waits, the Blues Brothers, and the Residents.

I can't recommend this film highly enough. I desperately hope that it will get a more extensive distribution so that my friends in other states can see it.
