"Very funny, odd, clever, brimming with interesting characters and excellent dialogue... I can't stop thinking about it." Terry Gilliam Fired is a burlesque epic set in a world out of joint. It is a heroic journey of self-discovery, a study of contemporary minds at the endof their tether, a salt-in-the-eye satire of the dystopian modern world, a heartbreaking outpouring of grief for the condition of creatures in existence, an anarchic vision of comic madness, a good old fashioned supernatural love-story, and a situational comedy, in the tradition of British losers gloriously, pointlessly and pathetically fighting a battle they cannot win.
