Julian Po is a 1997 dark comedy drama that follows a mysterious drifter who wanders into a small quiet town and becomes somewhat of a local celebrity when the reason he is there is discovered.
This is a really interesting movie with a very intriguing story that will not only baffle you, but capture your attention at the same time. It's a dark film at its roots with just a hint of comedy thrown in certain areas that almost feels forced because of its uncomfortable subject matter. Christian Slaters performance portraying the title character is very good, making it easy to get behind him, and there are a few uplifting moments, but as the tone of the film changes as it moves along so does your hope for a happy ending which unfortunately doesn't seem to happen although they leave that up in the air. But overall it has a good cast, original premise, and It's a pretty good movie that I ended up liking a lot more than I expected.
If you haven't seen it before, I would definitely recommend checking it out.
