‘The Ruling Class’ Criterion Summary
Peter O’Toole gives a tour-de-force performance as Jack, a man “cured” of believing he’s God—only to become Jack the Ripper incarnate. Based on Peter Barnes’s irreverent play, this darkly comic indictment of Britain’s class system peers behind the closed doors of English aristocracy. Insanity, sadistic sarcasm, and black comedy—with just a touch of the Hollywood musical—are all featured in this beloved cult classic directed by Peter Medak.

Beyond the Black Rainbow, interesting pick by Chris. The director made that crazy Nic Cage flick “Mandy” from 2018.
I have not seen Mandy yet, but people seem to like it…crazy and Nic Cage seems to go together anymore.
