"Most of the characters are named after Hollywood figures (Widmark, Preminger, Aldrich) and noir writers (David Goodis); there’s even a Nixon and a McNamara. The actors sometimes seem to be addressing the camera or they speak dialogue that is often Lewis Carroll-like nonsense, but less funny. Sometimes they appear to talk but we hear no words; other times, phrases or names are censored on the soundtrack by what sounds like a telephone ringing. Music starts and stops abruptly."
