Review of eXistenZ (1999) by Appendage7 — 18 Jan 2020
In the scene where Jennifer Jason Leigh and Jude Law hole up in a motel room after the failed assassination attempt, the bag their fast food comes in has "Perky Pat" written on it. This is a reference to the novel "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch" by Philip K.
Dick. As many have noted online, this movie takes many of its themes about nested reality and alienation directly from this book by Dick. In "Three Stigmata", however, the framework of the false realities is not a video game, but drugs called Can-D and Chew-Z.
