"THE AMERICAN ASTRONAUT" , "A long Laurel & Hardy skit directed by Salvador Dali."-Entertainment Weekly The Sundance Film Festival's catalogue compares the experience of watching this indie film--a space western musical (!)--to eating a Rice Krispies treat laced with a hallucinogenic. Featuring all original music by The Billy Nayer Show, this surreal comic noir-flavored rock opera defies convention, but invites comparisons to works like David Lynch's "ERASERHEAD", Sam Shepard's "THE TOOTH OF CRIME" and Ed Wood's "PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE". Directed/written by Cory McAbee; produced by William Perkins, Josh Taylor and Robert Lurie. US, 2001, b&w, 92 min.
