關於這部電影

Eddie (Kentucker Audley) bumbles his way through an agonizing courtship with Irene (Eleonore Hendricks), a manipulating drifter who videotapes their fleeting moments together. To express his true feelings for her, he orchestrates his debut stand-up performance at the local comedy club. Bad Fever is a witness to one man's broken American dream and his eternal longing to find someone, anyone, who understands or even pretends to understand.

評分和評論

The pacing limps along, lockstep with the wounded protagonist. As the story unfolds, the direction and cinematography capture the slippery slope of social alienation . However, the most impressive aspect of this film is the sound track. I'm glad I listened on headphones because there's no music in this film. It's all ambient and foley, mixed expertly. The soundtrack replenishes the oxygen that gets sucked out of the room throughout so much of the movie. It's sad and engaging at the same time.
