(1999)***
So I have stumbled onto some seriously weird flicks this year and this one is right up there on my list. It had the same disconcerting effect that the film Pi had on me. Thomas Klamm is a young taylor aspiring to reach the level of excellence that his esteemed father held before him. He has one problem though, his measuring is inaccurate. His sister Vera, a first class seamstress discovers his weakness and berates him into madness. Thomas' madness leads him to murder.
Vera is a bitch and if you ask me the whole family is quite mad. As a matter of fact the entire tayloring industry is immersed in weirdness, at least according to this film anyway. It's no wonder Thomas is a bag of nerves, he is expected to take accurate measurements solely by eying the client. Each time he is off even the slightest bit his domineering father and raging bitch of a sister humiliate the crap out of him right in front of the client. It's no wonder why Thomas loses his squash. If you're into slow descents into madness with a large dose of strange then by all means watch this film.
