Flummox

Synopsis

Sex, Drugs, Music. That's life.

This film is a mixture of genres; thriller, horror, comedy, romance, drama, musical, surreal, fantasy, sci-fi, noir and everything else.

The film is essentially about reality, the perception of reality and repression. It's about a young man, John, trying to stave off the feelings of belonging and notions of madness. This narrative runs through the heart of the film whilst others intertwine with it. A serial killer, a futuristic agent, a psychologist, a lover, a friend and a transvestite all add to the confusion and mayhem that create this onslaught on the senses. Is his girlfriend real? Is his best friend real? What is real? And as John finds out:'You can't keep running!'

The habitual dreamer can't seem to discipher his dreams. Is the mysterious transvestite the key? All this and more awaits the viewer in this original and confused film.

But the final revelation might be too much for some. Or does it all fit? It's up to you.

Or is it?
