Joe Flies

Running time: N/A

Hey! Why is they all talking so funny? What is that, Japanese? Hungarian? What the #@*! is going on?'' Well, I guess the answer to all would be, ''YES!'' If you see only one film at Cinequest this year (and shame on you if you do!), make it Griffin Lamachy's Joe Flies. It's sure to warp your mind. Take for instance the fact that Eddie has this idea for a film that he's trying to get across to his friends but doesn't quite seem to know what he's talking about. Imagine also that Eddie's apathetic co horts sit in this cafe all day and speak 12 different languages, including Pig Latin. And finally in the end,...well, we're not even sure that we understand the end. In Lamachy's own words, his film is ''Clerks meet What's Up Tiger Lily?'' In our own words, Joe Flies warps its audience to the real world of Lamachy's last home,...the psycho ward! This is the kind of film Cinequest was founded for--a film steeped in personal vision and unique character. --Mike Rabehl
