Directed by Alexandre Rockwell

Starring Jennifer Beals, Steve Buscemi, Seymour Cassel, Pat Moya, Will Patton

Alexandre Rockwell's quirky autobiographical comedy stars Steve Buscemi as Adolpho Rollo, a would-be screenwriter who is obsessed with getting his 500-page script "Unconditional Surrender" produced. Desperate for money, he places an ad for financial backing, which is answered by con man Joe (Seymour Cassel). The film was shot in color, but was released theatrically in black & white. Both verisions eventually made their way to home video release. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide

"Here’s the dilemma. I have a list of well over three thousand movies I want to see saved on IMDB. I have a subscription to Netflix and recently every time I return a DVD it has been an extremely arduous task to make the decision as to which movie I should see next. In an effort to narrow down my choices and make the process of choosing slightly less overwhelming I have devised a system, almost a bit of a game for me. Here’s how it goes.For my first f " [More]

"I watched In the Soup last night and became overwhelmed with one moment, one scene ( well actually two ). It was with Steve Buscemi's character Aldolpho, Jennifer Beals character Angelica, and her cousin/brother Paul (Sam Rockwell) on the roof. The three were on the roof and Aldolpho and Angelica took turns filming the other two. It is in Black and White ( I read that there was a color version too " [More]
