The film is about an aging screenwrite named Felix Bonhoeffer. His life is in two states of exsistance: in reality and in his own head. Hired to write a murder mystery set in a desert diner but he unawares that his brain is on the verge of implosion. As a redult, Felix is confused when his characters start to turn up in his life, and vice versa.
A miserable mess of a stream-of-consciousness movie.

Slipstream meanders into some lucidity by film's end, but it remains difficult to determine if it's a work born of genius or madness. The decision lies with the viewer.
Either one of the most self-indulgent vanity projects in the history of the Hollywood star system, or a rare revealing look at a distinguished actor who usually keeps his real self out of the spotlight.

Slipstream is utterly unwatchable. I hated every minute of it.
