Disgusting and fascinating tale of a crust punk poet turned lovecraftian Christ figure. I said in an earlier update I desperately want A24 to hire Panos Cosmatos or Jane Schoenbrun to direct this, but TBH a classic Chronenberg adaptation would work just as well. Just please make it while Ayo Edebiri is young enough to play Vanese, please!
