Bizarre movie, with a really good consumerism critic. Not for everyone, but surely worthing watching.

An excellent ‘80s dark satire about the advertising industry that will leave you thinking “What the hell did I just watch?” in the best way.

Other than it’s strange visual effects and great comedic writing, everything you need to know is simply in the title.
