Kevin Crust writing his "Recommended" capsule for the LA Times on "Delirious" says:
Tom DiCillo's film, a fractured fairy tale of lost innocents finding and losing one another in a world bordered by paparazzi, reality television and MTV, skewers the celebrity subculture while deftly portraying friendship as the compromised collateral damage of love. A story peopled by flawed archetypes, it's an achingly funny film that is also a little sad around the edges. Steve Buscemi stars as a paparazzo with dreams of being a "real" photographer, whose routine is upset when a young homeless man latches onto him and becomes his unpaid assistant.
LA Times Kevin Crusts full review of "Delirious"
Les Galantine (Steve Buscemi) is a paparazzi photographer who yearns to be a “real” photographer. He slinks through a daily routine of watching as the rich, famous and beautiful walk past the velvet ropes and into the exclusive VIP areas of New York's best clubs. This routine is upset when a young homeless man named Toby (Michael Pitt) stumbles upon Les and his fellow paparazzi staking out a trendy Manhattan hot-spot in hope of getting a shot of K’harma (Alison Lohman), a young pop diva. Seeking shelter, Toby follows Les and becomes his unpaid “assistant,” eagerly lapping up Les’ life lessons, amusing sayings, and laissez-faire perspective on life.
