A carousing college professor's life takes a series of unimaginable turns, and all the old stories are given a new twist, when he begins to have surreal hallucinations and learns he may not be long for this world.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
The absurdity of the film, interpreted as an allegory for the absurdity of life, strikes me as rather facile. Overall, the story relies on a mixture of tired family dynamics and superficial forays into what feels like fabricated tragedies like addiction, gun violence, and terminal disease.
