He takes a cab to the local cemetery, retrieves his belongings from a grave and lodges in a low budget hotel nearby an all-night donut shop.

Viewing Notes

Such an odd movie… couldn’t follow what was going on during the first half until a few things started making sense. Cronenberg is fun but the story is so-so. Watchable but weird.
