Loved it. Bought it at a flea market with no expectations other than liking Steve Buscemi and his choice of rolls, and I wasn't disappointed. I am not a fan of Hollywood, of newer movies (most, and the sea of bad movies is vast), or of hand-held video and scenes of brief duration. This film uses the language of film, film making, and what I can only imagine its inside understanding to tell a story as simple and real as its sometimes homely characters. Somehow, the homelier, regular folk make the beautiful people beautiful, a metaphor for the whole celebrity industry.These stars shine. There is nothing assuming. It is an understated bit of film making that simply uses the medium to tell its tale. If there are movies about movies, ,like "Day for Night" or Fellini's great, "And the Ship Sailed On," this one joins the pantheon. And the story reels you in (film pun intended) and holds you to the end.It is lovely, joyful and refreshing, meaning to be without the heavy hand.Thanks, Steve and thank you whoever left it at the flea market, new and unopened, for me to discover. Great date flick. Loved it.

In New York, Les is a celebrity photographer in search of the photo that will make him the news. As he tries, he meets Toby, a young resident of street, with no perspective, except for a vague desire to become an actor. Les initially rejects his new friend, but eventually accepts it in his apartment. Les does so with a purpose: he sees a chance to meet with K'Harma Leeds, the hottest star of the moment. The plan comes well at first, when the star invite Toby to your party. Except that their friendship is threatened when who gets to succeed is the homeless, not the photographer. "Delirious" isn't a movie made to be successful, but to give us a time of the conventional. It is different in the script, in pace and in outcome - for more strange that can be! Doesn't deepen in the friendship between Les and Toby, or in the platonic love of the homeless and the famous singer, and this turns out to be good, since that would makes it the story tedious, and here there is a romantic comedy. May not please all, but the few who like it can become fans. I recommend to who likes newer things.

Delirius has perhaps done the impossible. That is manage to blend equal parts cynicism and fantasy. These opposite qualities work off one another and result in a gem of a movie.The smart observations of the celebrity industry are right on the mark. Yet the movie doesn't drown in satire. Human touches are smoothly interwoven into the plot. Most noteworthy is a scene when Steve Buscemi is desperately trying to attain approval from his sterile, rather nasty old parents. Also a standout moment is the scene that takes place at Kharma's hotel, when she first brings Toby there. It is amusing to see Buscemi's character Les become unraveled at Toby's success. Somehow the ending seemed so right, again showing hope and the good side of human nature among the muck of a mercenary, dog-eat-dog world.The cast is excellent and the acting superb. This is a little cinematic treasure that deserves some recognition.

Delirious was excellent! I had the opportunity to catch the last showing at the Sundance Film Festival. The show was completely captivating. The storyline was very entertaining and the cast was completely lovable. Alison Lohman was brilliant. I highly recommend this movie if you enjoy character based comedies or if you have ever had an obsession. Character development is what makes this film so great. Tom DiCillo does an incredible job of thrusting you into these character's lives. Opinions of the characters change periodically throughout the show as you get to know them. When the plot begins to unfold, the story seems to be very predictable. However, you will be pleasantly surprised with a handful of unexpected circumstances. This film is easily one of the most entertaining at Sundance this year. I can't wait to add it to my personal collection.
