Review of Permanent Midnight (1998) by Brian C — 15 Nov 2010

Woaw! This was a shocking drugaddict-movie! And to think Ben Stiller in the lead as a gone mental heroine addict,.

illustrating up to 20 shots along the way! The life of Jerry Stahl might not be given that correctly, against the rush this is,.

getting hooked on his devastating habbit and acting all worked up, constantly, this is still acurate all together. But don't expect a good biopic.

Just scrape one or more of the extremely offending and unapropriate behavior. The need for his shot is highly exclamated! Ben realy gets his groove on, real speedfreak but also certainly physically. Owen Wilson does a slight stand-by, mostly to keep the joy in these actually horrible situations.

The only assurance we get is the fact that he's telling this story when he's kicked, trying to create trust with this girl.

It's mostly demented and outrageous. Certainly catching are the several hits he does, kindly shown very well, as a red thread through party's,.

Meetings and everyday life. It reaches certain limits, for example when he meets this guy after signing in for rehab.

And eventually the point whereafter he sees the need to change.

Still they manage to give it more lighty, translated in nice, steady tragic comedy.Ideal! (well, only a few can relive life after these kind of trips).
