It's hard to describe the rest of the story because it goes through quite a few convolutions before it ends, but it does take in, Cancer maps, A large explosion in the ad agency office, a beautiful girl from the country called Honey Barbara (Harry falls in love with her, which is actually the main bit of the story), the funniest elephant story ever, a really grim sojourn in a loony bin, and some great stuff about trees.
Call me a softy but along with Silent Running, it's the only film that's guaranteed to bring a tear to my eye every time I watch it. Wonderful acting, great script (adapted from a Peter Carey novel) fantastic, sometimes surreal, beautiful, scary, moving story. One of my all time favourites
Harry Joy comes back from death to see the world as it really is - full of horror and horrors. Teriffic performances all round and I guarantee that the guys will wish they had a Honey Barbera of their own.
Get this out on DVD a.s.a.p.!!!!
The film tracks his increasingly surreal existence, and his ultimate quest for redemption. It is, in turns, bizarre, grotesque, touching, and comedic. It is, in fact, almost as strange as real life, which is saying something.
Harry inspires sympathy, allowing you to experience his strange journey through all of its twists and turns. The movie ultimately is about a warped and unbalanced modern culture, but it delivers its message through Harry's (delusional?) perceptions of the world, in a treatment that is much more humorous than preachy.
If you like offbeat movies that touch on the metaphysical and provide a challenging counterpoint to some of our cultural norms (Frank Zappa meets Joseph Campbell? <shudder>), you might find this movie to be very special indeed.
