I'd really like a legitimate chance to see this. hopefully it makes it's way to America other than in a torrent.

I clicked through to this article for one reason only -- to read what McKean had to say. I had not heard of this film, but now that I've read about it I'm actually very interested in seeing this. Sounds like an incredible performance and knowing McKean - who illustrated the covers to my favorite comic series ever in SANDMAN - directed it makes me want to see this now. He brings such a unique point of view to all his projects that I'm sure this is compelling.

you clicked an interview with McKean to... see what McKean had to say? weird.

The point being, the subject matter did not interest me. Normally that's what draws someone to an article along with the interviewee. If there was an interview with Bendis talking Avengers, I wouldn't likely read that, but I would read an interview with Bendis talking about Powers (love that series). But with McKean, it doesn't matter what he's discussing, I'm such a fan of his work that I'll read an article about him upgrading his kitchen, were he to do one!

So, yeah, the snark is really appreciated.
