Watch Delirious For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

This film has it all. The characters in the film aren't two-dimensional which is a breath of fresh air. I mean they really have soul. These characters have been damaged in some way in their lives but all have a redeeming quality that has you wanting more! The script is an original masterpiece. The lighting and photography are exquisitely dark and real. The editing is humorously witty: a paper is thrown down in one scene and a bomb goes off on the television in the next, which sets up the emotional tension in the next scene exquisitely (you'll recognize this if you see the picture)!!! I especially enjoyed listening to the director give his take on the DVD as the movie plays. He has his "doctor" there to supervise him with thorazine, an occasional shot of JD whiskey, how cool is that! I guess you might say, who knows what is real or unreal about life anyhow!? He could really be crazy, I doubt that!! So you essentially get two movies for the price of one. A fine movie and wonderful bonus: ability to see the movie again with director commentary. Just Brilliant. I must say that Steve Buscemi's acting is exquisite. He could have been a great silent film era actor, All one has to do is turn the sound off and watch his expressions. Not over acted but superbly expressed with a realistic demeanor. Love this actor!!! Not a handsome actor but a real one, which I prefer over the prior.Please, if you have any cinematographic artistic LOVE in your spine, don't you dare miss DELIRIOUS!!!

Les, a self proclaimed photo journalist, can be found at many of the media events in Manhattan on any given night. He is tough, but alas, he is not as fortunate in his work. There are others with better connections that get to places where Les cannot fathom to go. His luck is about to change, much to his surprise, when he meets Toby, a homeless young man trying to eke a living in New York. Toby is a perfect match for Les. When the two meet, Les has been waiting to get a picture on the luscious K'Harma, a singer with a lousy love life.Les buys into the idea that Toby can be his assistant, when they meet again. Toby is asked to come to stay in Les' dilapidated Chinatown apartment. One thing though, Toby is not to mess around with the computer, where Les keeps his files. Things change for Les as he takes Toby into his home, even though he never trusts the kid. Les is a hoarder, always insisting in taking the gift bags that are given at any of the events.Les begins to get lucky. With Toby's help he snaps a picture of an actor as he comes out of a private doctor's office where he has undergone a procedure that has to do with his penis. That picture brings him seven hundred dollars and the temporary fame that goes with it. When Les brings Toby to his parents' home. All the parents want to know is whether Toby, with his good looks is gay. Evidently, they have their doubts about the strange pairing he makes with their own Les.Toby doesn't realize his life is about to change, when he happens to be innocently standing next to K'Harma at an event he is helping Les to cover. K'Harma likes what she sees, inviting the young man to the VIP lounge and later on to her hotel, where they spend the night without engaging in sex. Les wants to get to be near the singer because she is hot. The opportunity comes in the way of an invitation to K'Harma's own birthday party. Les, unfortunately, decided to bring a small camera to take pictures of the celebrities at the party, something that annoys the guests and the birthday girl. Eventually, Toby discovers the truth about Les' intentions for selling the party's photographs to a trashy magazine and bolts from Les' apartment.Toby catches the eye of Dana, a casting director. He is asked to play an ongoing part in a series based, more or less, on his own experiences surviving in the city. Toby, who becomes a minor celebrity, is reunited with K'Harma as they both attend an event that put them together in the red carpet, while Les who has come to deal with his former assistant, is singled out among the crowd by none other than Toby himself.Tom DiCillo, the director of "Delirious", is a man that is familiar with the trappings of celebrity, as he has shown in some of his other movies. Mr. DiCillo knows about hype and what is real and what's not. He takes an incisive look at all the phoniness of that silly world in which illiterate nobodies have their fifteen minutes worth of fame and how they burn after their lack of talent make them disappear from the scene. Les is an empty soul trying to make a living out of that unreal world. He is one of the many predators trying to take the shot that will sell in the printed media at all costs.Steve Buscemi is perfect as Les. Mr. Buscemi, who has worked with the director before, does an amazing job creating this reptilian character that doesn't show any redeeming qualities and who feeds the public's appetite for gossip and the latest dirt. Michael Pitt does an amazing job as Toby, the sweet street guy. Alison Lohman plays K'Harma. There are many many well known faces in the cast. Tom Aldredge and Doris Belack are good as Les' parents. Gina Gershon shines as Dana, the casting director with an ulterior motive.Frank DeMarco, the cinematographer captures the Manhattan of the late night crowd. Good views of the Meat Packing District and other locales. Anton Sanko's score blends well in the background.The film is highly recommended to Tom DiCillo's and Steve Buscemi's fans. They will not be disappointed.

I would have rated "Delirious" with 4 stars if this movie would have had another 2 leading actors because the plot of the movie is terrible.The performances of Steve Buscemi and Michael Pitt save the movie. The performances of these actors turn what could have been a boring movie in an entertaining one despite its extremely unreal and naive plot.The plot is about how a paparazzi (Steve Buscemi) and a young bum (Michael Pitt) become friends where the bum works for free for the paparazzi and in return he can sleep at the paparazzi's department, but things are going to change when the bum gets involve with a young woman pop star.

Delirious is different, genuine, alive, funny and as close to real life miracle as it gets! This movie is so deep (in a very entertaining way), you feel as if you just read a classical novel; instead of the silly flicks we all are so accustomed to see these days. Steve Buscemi's captivating performance, Michael Pitt's innocent yet noble attitude, Gina Gerswin, Allison and Callie's brilliant and lovable performances just drags you into the movie, where you feel a connection with most, if not all of the leads... It is not a fast paced action movie, it will not make you sit on the edge of your seat throughout, but you will feel enriched when you leave. Tom Dicillo has outdone himself (and certainly many others)! We all need more movies like Delirious.
