Illuminata (1998)
7/10
To Walken's and Sarandon's fans
18 February 2023
Can't figure out why this movie's not got the attention it deserves. It's hilarious, witty, strange, full of unexpected sequences, has good directing, acting and beautiful frames. The characters are strange but strangely real. The critic's character is funny and unique. His striptease sequence is so memorable and kinda like the one in the movie, Pennies from heaven. Walken is as always the center of the joy and fun.

The plot is a bit messy but considering the amount of characters and being based on a play, that's OK.

Interestingly, Sarandon and Walken both played in a television movie before, named "Who Am I This Time" as two co-actors in a theater play, and seeing them together in this movie was a sweet reminder, too.

Recommended to Walken's and Sarandon's fans. Do not miss it.
