'The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle'

'The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle' is one of the most unique and unusual movies I have ever seen. I hate how in this so called "cookie cutter" world we live in, that if a film doesn't follow a certain amount of guidelines and expectations that the general public just steers clear of it. 'Dizzle' takes this outlook of media and turns it on its head by incorporating cookies as a vital part of the film, to the extreme as being one of the main characters and primary antagonist. You can tell that director David Russo has poured his heart and soul into telling us his convictions and beliefs in a fun and entertaining way. The story revolves around a young programmer (Marshall Allman) that is just trying to find his niche in life. He becomes so fed up with the way society has turned a deaf ear to people's actions and disconnection with the real world that he tries to remove himself from the equation. He quits his job and starts working as a janitor in a high rise office building, where he gets to meet the opposite end of the spectrum of society, the sort of hidden world around us. Vince Vieluf ('Grind') and Tania Raymonde ('Malcolm in the Middle') bring a raw and realistic aspect to the film that no big budget blockbuster could have done. The janitors stumble upon experimental cookies in the trash bins of one of the offices and naturally take it as a request to consume them. I love the symbolism there. Having these characters eat cookies out of the trash reflects the directors view of advertising and the hush hush world of product placement and consumer hypnosis. I also personally love how the main character experiments and shifts through all major religions in the film, trying to show us that he's the same person no matter what he believes or who he worships. This movie definitely takes some extreme turns and risks along the way, but in the end I think it pays off. If you want to step off the grid and see a film and concept that has been boiling and growing within someone for a long time, then bring your camera and get ready for 'The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle'. Final result is a well deserved 3 out of 5.
