Delirious is a movie which proves choosing to watch something based on Steve Buscemi is usually a good decision (with the exception of Interview.) He stars alongside Michael Pitt and Alison Lohman. Buscemi shines as an incredibly unlikeable paparazzo with very few redeeming qualities, in fact almost none. Michael Pitt plays the a homeless person who by chance encounters pop star Alison Lohman and Steve Buscemi on the same day. Working as an assistant to Buscemi for free in exchange for a place to stay he finds opportunities in life. Michael Pitt has always had an off beat quality to him, none to unlike Buscemi. With the way Pitt shies away from main stream movies to work with the Gus Van Sants of the world he could very well become the 'next' Buscemi. He has an eye for interesting movies such as Funny Games and a quiet intensity.
Right from the title sequence with a shot of Pitt looking as if he were a stock motion puppet this film stood out and by the end will prove to be everything you expect of it. More than worth taking the time out of life for.
