I loved Adam Sandler in Punch Drunk Love.
The argument/showdown with Phillip Seymour Hoffman was classic!
I would watch this movie based on your review alone.
I'd watch it just for the soundtrack - you describe it so well:
And the sound, wow, the sound design is so brutal that you almost feel the stress of this guy on your skin, voices, music, noise everywhere... all mixed together and it saturates you, but in the best way... it's like they forced you into his head... and the music... it's almost like another character in the movie. It's not just there to accompany you, it pulls you in, it envelops you and keeps you glued to your seat... there are times when you don't know if you want to scream at the TV or hide, and the sound mix is so heavy that even the voices seem to compete with the music for volume, it completely disorients you, but that's the idea, of course... it makes you feel exactly like Howard: overwhelmed, desperate and always on the edge of the precipice.
This sounds as clever as Hitchcock:
I swear you feel trapped in Howard's world, the camera follows you closely, with those close shots you feel like there's no way out, as if you were locked up with him in his store or in his endless problems...
Great review!
