It's out now on DVD (but you have to have a non-zonal player). I was blown away when I saw it the first time. Also, I just did my about-35 year anniversary reading of Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, and I know I felt a strong resonance between Pynchon's acid-trip evocation of the late- and post-WWII years and this satire about Post-War Brit (world?) culture decay.
Pynchon also is known for having assorted characters break into song at the drop of a situation.
Furthermore, he incessantly switches between "reality" and someone's subjective fantasy life. Not that Potter doesn't in his own right love to do the same, but I'm not sure if it's a matter of influence or just coincidental genius.
This is a must-see!
