Karaoke (1996)
Directed by Renny Rye
Overview
Obsessive, self-destructive London television scriptwriter Daniel Feeld finds his health failing while involved with the post-production on his new TV drama, “Karaoke.” A hard-drinking heavy smoker, Feeld is in much physical pain as he struggles with pancreatic cancer. Going about his daily routines, he has some odd experiences leading him to conclude that his fictional creations are erupting into real life. He overhears people speaking scraps of his own dialogue including young Sandra Sollars, hostess at a karaoke club run by petty thug Arthur “Pig” Maillion. Feeld fears Sandra could be threatened by “Pig” Maillion in a manner similar to scenes he wrote for “Karaoke” as his memory, fantasy, and reality overlap and inter-weave into a complex mental tapestry.
