You’re dead incase you didn’t know. You just don’t have the sense to lie down
The Most stylish a paranoia attack has ever gotten. All the colors are borderline otherworldly like it’s my first time seeing red and blue and purple. The score is so perfect and some of the more dreamlike scenes fit the atmosphere really well. The dialogue is possibly Ferrara at his sharpest and it’s so funny. The film while staying dream logic and confusing still is able to maintain a narrative about the hollow nature of man and what greed can do to you, which is only bettered by the stylish nature of the film. Probably a 5 on a rewatch.

A dog walks into a bar; He's wearing a suit, a shirt and tie. He says to the bartender I'd like a scotch and toilet water.

Of course Walken, Dafoe, and Asia Argento hanging out in near future Tokyo and doing corporate espionage is going to be cool

Christopher Walken and Willem Dafoe want to FUCK so bad. They’re so horny oh my—put your penis away. Doomed yaoi in my Abel Ferrara movie. Willem Dafoe’s lover can’t Walken no more.
