The Cruise follows neurotic Jewish New York tour guide, Timothy "Speed" Levitch as he guides us through the city that never sleeps in his distinct philosophical-existential-psychedelic banter. As a total Big Apple-phile, this documentary looks totally up my alley. Of course this looks amazing as is, but any endorsement by Edward Norton (who claims The Cruise is his favourite film) makes this an instant must-see. You may or may not remember Levitch from Waking life fame, an animated feature by the most unslackerest of slackers, Linklater. He is absolutely brilliant and his mind works so fast, it's almost as if his mouth is working overtime just to catch up. The Cruise seems like a pastiche of neuroticism and witty candor. Sublime.
I'll finish this post off by a monologue by Levitch. Enjoy!
