A brilliant ad executive goes berserk trying to think of a clever campaign to sell a new, unglamorous pimple cream, to the extent that his subconscious sprouts a boil, which develops a face, alongside his head.

Review

Rolling Stone, 06/01/1989, p.36, "...[A] vigorous, cheerfully outrageous British satire....The provocative ADVERTISING adds up to frightful good fun..."

New York Times, 03/30/1989, p.C16, "...[Robinson] goes off on a new lunatic tangent....An engaging...combination of satire, science-fiction, Freud and domestic farce..."

Los Angeles Times, 05/05/1989, p.C1, "...It's cruel, funny, knowing, never less than biting and occasionally brilliant....There is an awful power to Robinson's rhetoric and an irrefutable logic..."

Product Notes

A top-notch advertising executive becomes (Richard E. Grant) fed up in the midst of trying to come up with a pitch for a new pimple cream, chucking his job and rebelling against society at large. The cream ultimately may have come in handy, as a boil develops on his neck--and begins to talk! An inventive, bizarre satire.
