Key the Metal Idol (1994)

A sick little ultra-90s mystery series with a cast of often strange and sometimes deeply unpleasant characters; a story never afraid to be cryptic or hostile or linger in beautiful or melancholy shots. One of those personal visions that rejects easy genre assignment. Unfortunately, the money fell through and the second half ended up extremely rushed after all the atmospheric buildup of the first. It's also let down by how few female characters it has, and the main character's explicit lack of personality or interiority.
