    Product Description
    Les (Steve Buscemi) is a small-time paparazzi with dreams of getting his embarrassingly funny photos on the front page. His luck seems to take a turn for the better when he befriends a clueless young homeless man, Toby (Michael Pitt), and makes him his unlikely assistant. But when Toby falls for a pop diva and becomes a reality TV star, Les has a tough time being pushed out of the frame and creates a devilish scheme to take down his apprentice. DVD Extras include: a Stalking Delirious Featurette, Promotional Shorts, Director s Commentary, Shove It Music Video, and the Theatrical Trailer

    4 out of 5 stars Not to bad   February 13, 2009
    Bronson K. Cambra (KY USA)
    This DVD was not that bad. The story line was very interesting but it kinda dragged on a little. The movie in general was pretty good though.

    3 out of 5 stars Through a lens, darkly   August 29, 2008
    D. Hartley (Seattle, WA USA)

    Writer-director Tom DiCillo returns to the same sharply observed, navel-gazing territory he explored in his previous films "The Real Blonde" and "Living in Oblivion", namely, pointed meditations on the personal and artistic angst that performers (and all those who take succor from their celebrity) must suffer as they busily claw their way to fame and fortune.

    DeCillo regular Steve Buscemi portrays the peevish Les Galantine, a bottom feeding paparazzi who fancies himself as the heir apparent to Richard Avedon. We are introduced to Les in a scene that strongly recalls Martin Scorcese's introduction of the desperate and needy autograph hounds in "The King of Comedy"; a group of photographers hurl insults and elbows at each other as they jostle for position waiting for a glimpse of the ridiculously named K'Harma Leeds (Alison Lohman), a wispy pop diva. We observe as Les establishes himself as the alpha parasite, shoving his way to the front of the swarm.

    Also on hand is an aspiring actor turned homeless bum named Toby Grace (oy, the names of these characters!) portrayed with wide-eyed, angelic, erm, grace by Michael Pitt. Quite by accident, Toby literally stumbles into affording Les the money shot of the diva as she steals out a side door. Toby subsequently ingratiates himself into an overnight stay on Les' couch, and, with the opportunistic instinct of a street person, proceeds to convince the initially suspicious photographer that he needs an "assistant" to help him get more of those page one tabloid photos (a job he will gladly fill in exchange for room and board).

    To avoid spoilers, let's just say serendipity (and a tremendous suspension of disbelief on the part of the viewer) eventually lands the homeless Toby into a plum role in a hot new TV series, and a star is born, greatly complicating his friendship with the now embittered and still-struggling Les, who feels Toby is "his" discovery (Pitt is basically reprising the same "All About Eve" type character he portrayed in "Hedwig and the Angry Inch".)

    DiCillo isn't exactly breaking new ground either, but he executes it with his patented blend of darkly comic cynicism tempered by a vibe of magical realism; it is a uniquely identifiable style of modern fable-telling that has made me a fan of the director's work.

    Buscemi is at his "lovable weasel" best here, and the strong supporting cast includes the always dependable indie stalwart Kevin Corrigan (Who?! If you saw him, you would say "Oh yeah-THAT guy!") and a surprisingly great turn from Gina Gershon, who displays a real flair for vicious comedy as a cutthroat agent (sort of a female version of Ari Gold from HBO's "Entourage".) Also look for Elvis Costello, playing himself in a hilarious cameo. I wouldn't call this DeCillo's best film (that would be "Living in Oblivion", with "Box of Moonlight" running a close second, IMHO), but fans of backstage tales will definitely get some jollies out of it.



    5 out of 5 stars What About Michael Pitt?   July 22, 2008

    Delirious
    Everyone talks about Steve Buscemi, okay, he's great, but we've seen him a thousand times before. What about Michael Pitt? He has made some interesting choices in his career, and this character is no different. He does have a beautiful face, and that's what gets him where he arrives at the end of this movie. Is he a talented actor? You betcha. He is more talented that Steve Buscemi? That's a good question. Steve Buscemi is good at what he does, whether in indie films, acting and directing, or on "The Sopranos". Michael Pitt is always spectacular. He is someone to watch. He is riveting. I watched (and bought) this movie because Michael Pitt was in it. I am not disappointed.



    3 out of 5 stars Worth Checking out (Make that Three and a half stars! )   July 2, 2008
    Danniray99 (Expatriate in Germany)

    In "Delirious," Les (played by Steve Buscemi), a jittery, disorganized and neurotic paparazzo, takes in a scruffy, homeless kid named Toby (Micheal Pitt)for a night and then decides to make Toby his (go-fer) assistant. But the middle-aged Les is a great pretender. He's actually a scrounging bottom-feeder, a deluded dreamer who teaches Toby some of the tricks of his trade--everything from gate-crashing high- and low-end parties for the free buffet spreads to swiping goodie bags from glitzy premiers and media events. Toby, however, turns out to be trustworthy, calm, sweet-natured and, most importantly, a very good looking young man who soon attracts the attentions of a casting agent (Gina Gershon) and, later still, a troubled starlet (Alison Lohman). Pulled up from the bottom, Toby becomes a star, leaving a jealous, possessive and increasingly infuriated Les to stew in his own grungy, hand-to-mouth existence. "Delirious" is ostensibly about the men's hard-bitten relationship. But as written and directed by Tom DiCillo, this independently-made film is actually a very tart commentary on the symbiotic relationship between media-driven infatuation and the fishbowl of celebrity culture--although "Delirious" is less cynical and far less fatalistic than its prototype, "Midnight Cowboy" (the 1969 X-rated Oscar-winning movie which starred Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight in comparable roles). As with "Midnight Cowboy," there is an undeniable core of feeling that develops between the two characters. Overall, this is an above-average movie that is definitely worth checking out!
