Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
SnoopyStyle Toby Grace (Michael Pitt) is a homeless actor wannabe. Les Galantine (Steve Buscemi) is a paparazzi. While Les is waiting for pop diva K'harma Leeds (Allison Lohman), Toby helps K'harma get away. Later, Toby becomes Les' assistant and even friend. However when K'harma pretends that Toby is her hook-up, Les is blocked from backstage and is angered. Toby befriends K'harma and is invited to her birthday party. He brings Les along as a favor. At the party, Les starts taking pictures and they're both thrown out. Toby and Les breakup. Eventually Toby becomes famous and a jealous Les vows to kill him.Steve Buscemi is too angry, too pathetic, and too annoying to watch. It's a silly Hollywood stereotype of the loner creepy paparazzi loser. Michael Pitt doesn't show the necessary star presence. He needs to be more than a pretty boy. Alison Lohman is even less believable as a pop star. It doesn't help that her songs sound so bad. It could have been interesting to have a dark ending but the movie force a happy ending anyways. Tom DiCillo delivers little more than a passable B-movie.
rewolfson Loved it. Bought it at a flea market with no expectations other than liking Steve Buscemi and his choice of rolls, and I wasn't disappointed. I am not a fan of Hollywood, of newer movies (most, and the sea of bad movies is vast), or of hand-held video and scenes of brief duration. This film uses the language of film, film making, and what I can only imagine its inside understanding to tell a story as simple and real as its sometimes homely characters. Somehow, the homelier, regular folk make the beautiful people beautiful, a metaphor for the whole celebrity industry.These stars shine. There is nothing assuming. It is an understated bit of film making that simply uses the medium to tell its tale. If there are movies about movies, ,like "Day for Night" or Fellini's great, "And the Ship Sailed On," this one joins the pantheon. And the story reels you in (film pun intended) and holds you to the end.It is lovely, joyful and refreshing, meaning to be without the heavy hand.Thanks, Steve and thank you whoever left it at the flea market, new and unopened, for me to discover. Great date flick. Loved it.
petailss In New York, Les is a celebrity photographer in search of the photo that will make him the news. As he tries, he meets Toby, a young resident of street, with no perspective, except for a vague desire to become an actor. Les initially rejects his new friend, but eventually accepts it in his apartment. Les does so with a purpose: he sees a chance to meet with K'Harma Leeds, the hottest star of the moment. The plan comes well at first, when the star invite Toby to your party. Except that their friendship is threatened when who gets to succeed is the homeless, not the photographer. "Delirious" isn't a movie made to be successful, but to give us a time of the conventional. It is different in the script, in pace and in outcome - for more strange that can be! Doesn't deepen in the friendship between Les and Toby, or in the platonic love of the homeless and the famous singer, and this turns out to be good, since that would makes it the story tedious, and here there is a romantic comedy. May not please all, but the few who like it can become fans. I recommend to who likes newer things.
idil-ozdemir Delirious is different, genuine, alive, funny and as close to real life miracle as it gets! This movie is so deep (in a very entertaining way), you feel as if you just read a classical novel; instead of the silly flicks we all are so accustomed to see these days. Steve Buscemi's captivating performance, Michael Pitt's innocent yet noble attitude, Gina Gerswin, Allison and Callie's brilliant and lovable performances just drags you into the movie, where you feel a connection with most, if not all of the leads... It is not a fast paced action movie, it will not make you sit on the edge of your seat throughout, but you will feel enriched when you leave. Tom Dicillo has outdone himself (and certainly many others)! We all need more movies like Delirious.
