given the recent exchange on Jesus' Son + now this, I feel like you're on your way to becoming a 90s independent film fan. It really was a rad era for small, weird films. Two others that come to mind when I remember the absolute effing joy of seeing Dollhouse in some downtown theater (in the 90s we all still lived in Manhattan) are Bottle Rocket (first Wes Anderson, way more restrained stylistically, and not yet so super Wes Anderson-y) and a documentary called The Cruise which I still watch on my birthday every year, even or especially b/c I'm back home on the West Coast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cruise_(1998_film)
