Natural Born Killers

w/d  Oliver Stone

Outrageous, completely over-the-top treatment of our media culture. He threw in every idea he could think of in an attempt to parody something which is so extreme in reality that it's beyond satire.

I read at the time that when Stone was editing this film they were watching the OJ "chase" unfolding on TV and realized they hadn't gone far enough. Still, this stands as an amazing work. He even threw in a visual homage to Kwaidan.

Powerful, sickening stuff.
