from the quirkiest of the quirky and steve buscemi premier his first film with a nuclear blast . the cast and which most have go on to really big film and all artfully create the character study which be what tree lounge really happen to be . each cast member should be award an oscar for how real they portray this sad set of character . like a step into the daily wrongness of a typical craphole which can be anywhere in the usa and buscemi breakout performance a the alcoholic ice cream man capture a rawness of how a man can be degrade so swiftly in the moray and questionable social structure that permeate our culture . brilliantly write and buscemi make the assumption of just how relationship be all base in fear and the fact of this fear be why the character act out and react a they do throughout this film but a we all do in the real world as well . when look for a slice of life that remind u just how not to be and tree lounge be the perfect example . this film be a triumph .
