Schizopolis - Criterion Collection

Inspired by rumors, bald-faced lies, and half-remembered dreams!

Fletcher Munson has a doppelganger in dentist Dr. Jeffrey Korchek. In his only starring performance to date, acclaimed director Steven Soderbergh inhabits both roles: that of Munson, onanistic corporate drone and speechwriter for New Age guru T. Azimuth Schwitters, and the swinging Korchek, Muzak enthusiast and lover of Munson's disenchanted wife. Meanwhile, mad exterminator and part-time celebrity prima donna Elmo Oxygen plots against Schwitters while using his trademark babble to seduce local housewives. Placing the onus squarely on the viewer ("If you don't understand this film, it's your fault not ours"), writer-director-cameraman-star Soderbergh presents a deranged comedy of confused identity, doublespeak, and white-knuckle corporate intrigue, confirming his status as one of America's most daring and unpredictable filmmakers.
