Big Time (1988)
Sometimes beautiful, sometimes garish, all Tom Waits

I'm not the best at reviews, but I wanted SOMETHING to be written here. I know you can do a better job, please feel free!
Anyway, I got this movie expecting something far different. It is a live concert film at times, but it is also a play about 'Frank' of Frank's Wild Years.
It does have some interesting visuals, such as the flaming umbrella in 9th an Hennepin, and Tom singing in the shower on Innocent When You Dream.
I did enjoy the film 'Big Time' more than the CD 'Big Time' - I enjoy seeing his theatrical vision. I'd love to know what Tom wanted the audience to get out of the movie.
