Happy Little Bunnies
I’m really, really not sure how to describe this. Or review it. It plays by no convention rules.
Ostensibly, it’s about a man who goes to a psychiatrist because he’s suicidal and having nihilistic thoughts of harming others. Over time, the session turns dark, as the psychiatrist seems to be okay with amoral, selfish indulgence. Intercut with this are scenes of someone in a homemade bunny outfit killing random men. And the occasional cut to the director of the movie, and someone in the crew eating lunch on the floor while someone wears a sheet over themselves Charlie Brown-style.
It’s a twisted, dry, unflinchingly odd movie. It refuses to go at any pace other than it’s own, refused to tell a narrative in a structure or sense that most humans would understand, and yet, it’s utterly captivating in the weirdest way. It is definitely an acquired taste kind of movie. You have to appreciate that a movie is not only not going to give you the answers, but it might withhold them as a joke you’re not in on. You have to have a morbid but dry sense of humor, and you have to have patience. It is warped, it’s a little over-long, and the kills are low-budget and cheesy … but there is something enjoyable here for the right person.
