Repo: The Genetic Opera
When I first heard of Repo: The Genetic Opera thanks to my boy's wandering eye over a local newspaper, I thought 'huh, Sarah Brightman, Paris Hilton, the Watcher guy from Buffy', the chick from 'Spy Kids', the singer from 'Skinny Puppy', all singing, wow, someone wrote this while inhaling crack through one nostril', but WOW, I love this movie. It's most certainly a musical, but there's nothing Broadway about it and, yes, it has opera in it, but nothing so polished as would grace the stage of the Met. Opera. This movie is Rocky Horror meets Bladerunner meets a Rob Zombie video that's parading around as a Nine Inch Nails. With an industrial-gothy tone to it and an dash of fetish, a really is a colourful (for lack of a better word) world has been created for the viewer. Produced by Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures, this film was not released for a larger viewer audience because the producers did not think it would be popular with the mainstream. Still, it has sold out where it screens, and, as I read, is developing a cult following.
It's a fun movie set in world where organ failure is widespead. A company comes to light that provides organs-affordable through a payment plan-but, if you don't keep up with monthly payments, they send out a Repo Man to reposses your life. It's a also a movie critiques our modern societal obsession with plastic surgery. See it. I don't have it in me to write a decent review this time, so, seeeeee it.
