Ghostbox Cowboy

Advice: don&apos;t go see this movie if you&apos;re looking for Something like That Thing You&apos;ve Seen Before; *this is not that thing*. Don&apos;t go see this movie, in other words, if you&apos;re nervous about things like &quot;Clearly Delineated Plot Structure&quot; and/or get overly hung up about things like &quot;Strictly Adhered-To Genre Conventions&quot; -- if you do, well, you&apos;ll have only yourself to blame.

Go if you want to feel something new in cinema for the first time in a very long time; go if you want to laugh hysterically (if sporadically)... at the very moment you&apos;re feeling a vague sense of horrible foreboding that this film might actually somehow be a documentary that was sent back from the future.

Because this is a breathtaking and utterly novel piece of cinema -- it&apos;s as if a post-Repo Man concept by Alex Cox was written up by George Saunders... and then re-written by a coked-up, paranoid, fever-dreaming Craig Baldwin... and then handed over to the Yes Men to improv, and thereby render even more astonishing. (And yet don&apos;t misunderstand me via that mash-up: there&apos;s *nothing* derivative about this film.)

Whether you ultimately decide you don&apos;t need a thing like this in your life (like some of the low ratings would suggest) or, like me, find it instead a Cinematic Hope Rejuvenator, one thing is certain: the whole of it is like nothing else you&apos;ve seen.

So, up to you: wanna be first to the party, and anticipate you kids&apos; reverence for this film by about 15-20 years? Or wanna memorialize your head-scratching and confusion here with a negative review? :)
