Delirious (1991)

Synopsis: A soap opera writer is in love with the star of his soap opera. He suffers an accident and wakes up as a character in it. The plot revolves around a formula which was concocted by a scientist, and the fierce competition to get it.

Appraisal (mild SPOILERS): Moderately entertaining exercise in metanarrative. It has some complicated concepts (the writer, as a character, may determine the course of events by writing them on his typewriter; as those events unfold, the letters erase themselves), and is not especially funny, but has some interesting moments.

Rating: 40
