Sitcom Blu-ray Movie
Altered Innocence | 1998 | 80 min | Not rated | Jun 25, 2024 | Brian Orndorf
This is an amusing, entertaining gloss on suburban decay. When the respectable, staid father brings home a lab rat in a cage, the latter starts to exert a strange, hypnotic power on the family: these repressed suburbanites toss their inhibitions to the wind and embrace their darkest, wildest fantasies, be they erotic or morbid. Owing a big debt to the films of Luis Bunuel and Pedro Almodovar, Sitcom has the same irreverent, sacrilegious kicks of the former and the sultry, melodramatic absurdity of the latter. . There is a powerful, sinister undercurrent to the hilarious plot and the film contains bizarre fantasy, arch comedy and a charming camp sensibility.
