Psycho Therapy: The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer (2024)

A cute little film, which I found by total accident. Never heard of, more (Woody) Allenesque than Jarmuschian (as read in the reviews). An a bit of Mamet plays.

Tough to deal with the title tho. The Shallow Tale of a Writer Who Decided to Write About a Serial Killer. The Psycho Therapy: I guess, was added later. 

The writer-director Tolga Karaçelik is Turkish, arthouse fares and this is fis first English language film. Shot in New York, cool locations.  There's plenty of Turkish backers & producers on the credits.

A pleasure to see Steve Buscemi tho, in such a nice quirky part. Great name to, Kollmick. He's a retired serial killer that liked the writer's first book, about Mongolians ;)

The Protagonist is the lamest, Keane as John Magaro, a whinny loser writer, we know it's intended but it's hard to see why such a woman as Suzie (Britt Lower, from the Severance series) will still put up with him after so much time.

There's also a cool Tom Waits song and moment. 

Slovenia 40.000 BC is a cool pun. In black and white. "they move together".

 and the Llama, any film with llamas since the credits on Holy Grail...
