Why you might like this:
Directed by David Caesar in 1997, Idiot Box blends crime, comedy, and drama to deliver a uniquely entertaining and thought-provoking exploration of aimless suburban life. Standout performances from Ben Mendelsohn and Jeremy Sims ground the film's offbeat story, providing an insightful and darkly humorous take on the challenges of finding purpose in a world that often feels meaningless.
