That's because Joseph Minion is a mad genius. He has his own indefinable style of fantastical realism, and off-the-wall, darkly comedic, deadpan everyday absurdist happenstance; making the dark and poignant glances all the more pure. Things in his scripts snark their way out of nowhere, no, not even nowhere, a place beyond nowhere where only Joseph Minion lives. This kind of thinking must run in his blood because his stuff has a genuineness that is devoid of pretension. His stuff is subtle and so unarticulable that it passes by most people who have a banal senses of existence. He is an avant-garde weirdist. His films are for me a definition of the concept of "bizarre" (a word I take very seriously, never use lightly and save for only the highest and purest praise). He should be exalted on high above all the other wild card, eccentric phonies; this guy is the real deal. See: Vampire's Kiss (1989), Motorama (1991), After Hours (1985) and even On The Run (1999).
