About
If you enjoy surreal, cynical crime stories where logic bends and reactions feel off-kilter, this could click, especially if you liked Coup de Torchon or Get Out Your Handkerchiefs; Not for you if you want straightforward realism.
Pros: absurd noir parody; dreamlike weird humor; boldly unpredictable | Cons: cynical tone; oddball experimental style; unsettling violence
