I really enjoyed “Delirious”. While I read one person categorize the film as a “comedy”, I think it was more of a drama with little bits of comedy thrown in to the mix. It stars Steve Buscemi, Alison Lohman, Michael Pitt and Gina Gershon. While Steve Buscemi does a lot of work with writer/director Tom DiCillio, I was most surprised to see Gina Gershon in the film. She is very pretty, played her role very well and has gained a lot of notoriety as of late for her appearances on shows like “Rescue Me” and “Psyche”.

The film explores Les’ (Steve Buscemi) life and career as a paparazzi member. I thought this was interesting on its own because of the premise. Too often in films, members of the paparazzi are simply there, like wallpaper, around celebrities. I liked that this film was looking at a normal guy in the paparazzi.

Throughout the film, Les becomes friends with Toby (Michael Pitt) who works as Les’ assistant in exchange for a place to stay (or a closet to stay in). Toby is homeless and looking to make it as an actor. He gets his chance when he meets and falls in love with K’harma (this gets him on tv initially) and meets with Gina Gershon’s casting director character.

I thought there were a lot of love complications going on and that this was powerful on its own, but not nearly as compelling as what drove Les, how he viewed himself, etc.

Overall, the movie was well done. The acting was fairly strong and I thought the film was thought provoking.

What did everyone else think of it???
