  Survive Style 5+ 2004

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 12 Nov 2013 4

  A few lessons imparted by Survive Style 5+:

  4. If you take steps to murder your wife, you'd better make sure she's really dead, because if she isn't... Look out.

  5. If someone thinks they're a bird, maybe they are.

  Easily one of my favorite viewings this year. Perfectly demented.
