A classic of neo-noir, this modern, ultraviolent reinterpretation of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' balances the visual style of the Coen Brothers with the existential themes of Strindberg and Camus. Accusations of mysogyny have been made against director Percy Shrubb, but these can easily be countered by the depth of characterisation given to the character of Eva. She is the tragic heroine, part Ophelia, part Hilda Ogden. Exploring the themes of dream, reality, sexuality, and violence, 'Strindberg's Hero' is a modern classic to rival Polanski's 'Chinatown'. The inter-racial kiss predates 'Star Trek' by over a decade. Look out for a cameo from Jerry Lewis.

Well not all of it was a dream was it? I mean Violent Dave had his girlfriend shot to death in his real world right at the end. Obviously.

Sublime! Perfect! A stunning debut!
Disappointed by a lack of peurile body-function based humour.
