201992 min5.3 / 10

A darkly comedic, surreal neo-noir fever dream that blends horror, jazz-age decay, and absurdist violence into a deliberately strange and disorienting narrative.

On the night of the strangest wedding in cinema history, a grotesque gang boss hires a stonecold killer to bring him the finger of a fading, drug-addicted jazz legend.
