The Paranoids

I'm a big fan of Brett Easton Ellis. The moody, disaffected youth drifting through a landscape of moral vacancy and excess. And while The Paranoids doesn't involve him in any way, and isn't a simple clone of his style, there's enough similarity to keep me interested.

The lead character is likeable, if not particularly motivated. The direction and writing are quite good, at least as communicated by the subtitles. Somewhat surreal and a bit dreamy, I liked it a lot as a mood piece.
