Line 1: {{work}} A quietly charming indie film based on Israeli writer Etgar Keret’s novella ''Kneller’s Happy Campers'', ~~[http://www.hulu.com/watch/167845/wristcutters-a-love-story~~ ''[[Wristcutters: A Love Story]]''] follows recent suicide Zia and his journey through a limbo set aside for those who kill themselves. This world is only slightly different from life, [[Crapsack World\|except the color is muted, there are no flowers or stars, and no one can smile]]. After spending some time in this world, Zia meets Eugene, a Russian rock star, and Mikal, who claims she didn't kill herself and is trying to get back to the living world. The three of them set off into this depressing dimension in order to find Zia's ex-girlfriend, who has also killed herself, and the People In Charge, who have the power to send Mikal back. Despite what you think, it's definitely not an emo film. ~~----~~ {{tropelist}} ~~'''This film contains examples of:'''~~ * [[Ate His Gun]]: The cop. * [[Black Comedy]]: Very much so. Line 19: * {{spoiler\|[[Earn Your Happy Ending]]: Something of a [[Deus Ex Machina]] since Zia, who deliberately killed himself, gets returned to life via Kneller's status as a PIC.}} * [[Electrified Bathtub]]: While not exactly this, Eugene pouring his beer onto his guitar runs on the same principle. * [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: The PIC stands for People In Charge. * {{spoiler\|[[Gainax Ending]]}} * [[Goodbye, Cruel World]]: The Juliet in the bar. Line 32: * [[Shrug Take]]: Zia seems to take the whole idea of a black hole in his friend's car pretty well. * [[Spurned Into Suicide]] * [[Starts ~~With~~with a Suicide]]: Well, duh. * [[Suicide Attack]]: Eugene thinks this is how the Arab taxi driver got there. * [[Swirly Energy Thingy]]: One exists as a pocket black hole under the seats of Eugene's car. Line 40: * [[Urban Fantasy]]: It takes place in an afterlife that's the [[Crapsack World]] version of ours, but small miracles do happen, line fish changing colour and a match floating up the sky and becoming a star. You just have to not care about it... ---- {{quote\| ''Ooohoohooh/Through the roof/ Underground''}} {{reflist}} [[Category:Film]] [[Category:Films of the 2000s]] [[Category:Wristcutters: A Love Story]]
