Editorial Reviews:

  • Les (Steve Buscemi) is a small-time paparazzi with dreams of getting his embarrassingly funny photos on the front page. His luck seems to take a turn for the better when he befriends a clueless young homeless man, Toby (Michael Pitt), and makes him his unlikely assistant. But when Toby falls for a pop diva and becomes a reality TV star, Les has a tough time being pushed out of the frame and creates a devilish scheme to take down his apprentice. DVD Extras include: a Stalking Delirious Featurette, Promotional Shorts, Director s Commentary, Shove It Music Video, and the Theatrical Trailer

  • Summary: Buscemi does it again!
  • Comment: Just saw this feature on MGM-HD channel. Never heard of it before. It is a laugh riot. But, someone says it is similar to MIDNIGHT COWBOY. That's strange to me. MIDNIGHT COWBOY was the first X-rated feature to win an Oscar for best picture. Today, it has been rated R.

    Comparing that film with Delirious is like Jeeps to Cadillacs. Michael Pitts is no Jon Voight. There is no comparison. Pitts is a good actor as well as Buscemi. Buscemi is the reason I watched this feature. And he does a good job, as he has in all of his film history. This is a low budget B type of film. But, it is one of the best of this genre. I am purchasing it for my collection. It is total camp and goes beyond rental. It's a collectible.

    MIDNIGHT COWBOY had a leading director and a budget that fitted the story. It is still one of my top 5 movies. Don't compare an Oscar winner to a B film. Delirious, like I say, is entertaining, funny, and for me a collectible. It's a picture for group viewing with perhaps, a joint in their hand-smile! MIDNIGHT COWBOY is the film that started Voight's career. Nobody, other than him, could do the role so convincingly. Voight was "eye" candy. Michael Pitts isn't, at least in this film. But, he is a good actor. He should have smiled more.

    DELIRIOUS

    I have always been a huge fan of Steve Buscemi and try to buy any and every thing he is involved in, this film included and I am glad I own it. This is a strangle little tale that was and indie hit especially at Sundance. I have no idea why it took me so long to review this but I guess later is better than never. This really is a good yet quirky movie, really it is.

    The film follows Les Galantine [Buscemi] a paparazzi even though he thinks he is better than that, and a young homeless actor wannabe named Toby Grace [Michael Pitt]. These two come together by chance when Les is waiting to get some shots of a singer/actress played by Alison Lohman. While waiting for her Toby literally runs into him and offers his services as an assistant, his first job is to go get him some coffee. On his way back he gets his first glance of the singer and falls in love. From a weird some what non trusting friendship builds between the two as Les lets Toby live with him if he works for free. As the story moves on we see one succeed in life while the other comes to terms with whom and what he truly is.

    This is a crazy story full of betrayal and backstabbing and not just between the two lead characters. Writer/director Tom DiCillo did a wonderful job with this film particularly with the script. The story and characters are excellent and some of the most interesting I have seen in a while. And his direction is top notch showing us this film through his eyes, very interesting tale of life on the outside edge of the fast lane.

    Steve Buscemi is brilliant as usual in this film and is nothing short of becoming this character named Les. He is a guy who try's to live like he is better than what he is, a paparazzi. He is also not the nicest guy as he takes complete advantage of Toby using him to get what ever he wants, like helping him sneak into parties and get pictures. Toby is played masterfully by Michael Pitt and is just a nice guy looking for some help but Les rubs off on him a little. Pitt actually may be the show stealer in this one but still I think Buscemi is the best. Alison Lohman is great as the singer who falls for Les but is just as lost as him even though she is successful. To be honest this is one of those films were even people in the back ground are great, just a good film over all.

    This is a very interesting and entertaining film that I would recommend to any one reading this. I did not want to give much away but still I found it to be one of the better films I have seen recently. I mean come on Buscemi is in it, that should be enough for any one to want to see this movie.
