I ♥ Huckabees

I ♥ Huckabees is a glorious mess. It's also a unique instrument. It is not realistic enough to be realism, but it is not abstract enough to be allegory. It dresses psychology up as philosophy (not to worry, William James did the same thing). Its political theater is unrecognizable, but it bolsters the case made by Three Kings that David O. Russell is the most politically committed of the Wordy Indie Wunderkind set (Anderson, Anderson, Baumbach, Stillman; not to mention Gondry-Kaufman-Jonze). I'm going to have to see it again to really write this post. For now, I just wanted to put something up with the ♥ symbol.
