Shelf Life (1993) ***1/2

"Now I lay me down to eat and pledge allegiance to the flag. For one nation is invisible, the body of our lord... Play ball."

Paul Bartel's final (lost) film Shelf Life (1993)—based on writers/stars O-Lan Jones, Andrea Stein, and Jim Turner's stage play—is bizarre, innovative, and hysterical.
