Then, the wordless \"\u0026amp;\" tells two tales at once: one about a skinny guy trying to steal enough money to save his ill mother, and the other about a fat guy murderously trying to woo his true love. The reason we follow these two parallel stories becomes obvious only on the very last page, in Jason's inimitable genre-mashing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Early Film Noir\" can best be described as \u003cem\u003eThe Postman Always Rings Twice\u003c\/em\u003e meets \u003cem\u003eGroundhog Day\u003c\/em\u003e.
