bizarreness

This bizarreness shouldn’t minimize the work that Silverman’s episode did, both in front of and behind the camera.

But I also think the pure bizarreness is sort of the point.

The work has long drawn comparisons to “Twin Peaks,” and like the latter, “Alan Wake II” flirts with tension, bizarreness and absurdity.

But there’s an endearing bizarreness to “Fingernails,” his first film in English, that allows him to grasp at some of the intricacies of the human condition, steeped in silences as much as heartfelt analysis.

The mixed-medium feat is both a sight to behold and a sign that Alcazar is not operating from a place of self-seriousness but rather awareness of his concept’s bizarreness.
