victor’s inner monologue occasionally breaks the fourth wall (lines including “there, you see that look she gave me? that’s because that really happened” and “oh yeah, she’s gonna ruin everything. only i don’t know that yet.”). when paige asks victor exactly what his job entails it cuts to him staring directly at the camera and then saying “i am the backbone of colonial america.” it looks like he’s talking to the viewers until he steps back and reveals he is with a group of students. plus general chuck palahniuk wall breaking (think the odd inner one liners in fight club)

the main character is a sex addict. as a result, sex is talked about blatantly and shown often and graphically (no genital nudity). he attends a support group for sex addicts. he envisions random women topless. he tries to screw almost all of the women he meets. sex is crucial to the film’s plot
