'Chained for Life' (2018) - Aaron Schimberg.

I had the extraordinarily good fortune to recently watch Aaron Schimberg's unexpectedly fabulous, darkly mesmerising psychodrama 'Chained for Life' (2018),and it most certainly won't be the last time I return to this ceaselessly dazzling kaleidoscope of bravura fascinating originality! 'Chained for Life' boasts a really lovely, ornate, sparklingly original premise, a richly woven text, withering pathos, wonderfully sardonic performances, and a deliciously irreverent tone that make this devilishly clever oddity a sensationally convention-boggling delight from its enigmatic start to breathlessly brilliant finish! For me, maestro Schimberg's emotionally edifying, tantalizingly transgressive 'Chained for Life' is one of those all-too rare, blissfully unclassifiable films that one should ideally go into totally blind; keeping dem voyeuristic peepers open once the movie starts, natch!!!! But I just have to say, the Werner Herzog-sounding director was a genuinely exquisite touch! The multi-faceted, persistently perspicacious phantasmagoria 'Chained for Life' is bound to beguile any innately curious, sensation-seeking fan of exquisitely wrought,insightfully humane, refreshingly cliche free cinematic wonder!
