  • This film is a total gem. It’s mad, smart and surreal. And Richard E Grant is a perfect cast for the cynical ad’ man.

    Plot spoiler, personally I think going in blind is good with this film but if you’re not gonna watch it…

    !The ‘ahead’ in the title is an actual head. A second head with a wicked alter ego that forms on the advertising man’s neck and grows. Moral corruption from his occupation in the shape of a boil. A power struggle between ‘good’ head (the protagonist is a massive asshole but he does have some tiny moral reservations about his influence in the world) and bad head (no scruples whatsoever) then plays out.!<

    That makes it sound like a romp, and it is very funny, but also really dark and cynical.

    Also recommend The Young Poisoner’s Handbook.
