Neresian’s surreal trip through modern-day Manhattan evokes Alice in Wonderland with its twisting, almost nonsensical plot. But even though its protagonist--a loser who names himself Joseph Aeiou--is a total douche, we still get caught up in his nightmare, as he is played for a fool by pretty much everyone he meets.
