Notes et avis

I fell in love with this movie years ago and just revisited it in a bit of a nostalgic trip for St. Paddy's day. A fantastic ride through Francie's life, imagination and gradual downward spiral. Eamonn is amazing in this role and is hard for me to turn away from through his wit, shenanigans and legitimate disturbing moments. All around a great ride and a wonderful movie that still stands up as much today as it did when I first saw it in 2001 or '02. Glad that rented this one tonight and it's now on my 'to buy' list now that I no longer own a VHS player.

One of my favorite movies of all time.

De mis películas favoritas. Humor negro garantizado. Qué lástima que no la pueda encontrar subtitulada en español!
