Tony Manero (2008)

A movie about a dude who is obsessed with the title character from Saturday Night Fever? Is this a documentary about 4th-grade me? If it didn't take place in Chile, I would sue director Pablo Larrain and make him buy the rights for this story.

I really didn't know much about this movie except it was about a person who loves Saturday Night Fever. It turns out that the film was much darker than I expected. It actually had very sordid and disturbing subject matter. The protagonist is psychotic, violent, misogynistic, and downright scary. He kills someone because they stopped showing SNF at the movie theater and played Grease instead. Damn. Grease is an okay movie, bro!
