Rufus looks especially beautiful in that shot.

Just watched Illuminata. Have not seen the film in a while. Forgotten how wonderful it is. Love the first scene with Rufus, with the almost girl. After giving him directions. No.... no.... Left.. left.. left..that's right.. yes....yes.. Oh God.. I'm .. I'm gonna be....I'm gonna be, ALMOST HAPPY.
Then Rufus appears from underneath her shirt between her legs. ALMOST!!

Rufus is so so funny

And then that very last scene. That takes your breath away completely:-*

There is something cruel in every love.
My heart has wronged you and it has wronged you before.
It means I am imperfect.
Born imperfect.
Educated imperfectly.
Moulded in my formative years, by imperfect hands.
And so, expect not else.
But if you look for someone to love you, imperfectly.
Look no further.
I am he, if you will still love me. I am he.

And a beautiful single tear. :-*

just ordered it off amazon! So excited! >:(

Never seen it before but from all your comments it sounds brilliant. Sooooo happy our Rufus is in it a good deal. I was afraid his part would be small.

Oh-so-dramatic Dominique is one of the great Rufus characters. He gets to stomp around and have temper tantrums and then, at the end, bring us all to tears.

And, of course, during the credits he gets to be silly!

I almost didn't order it. I wasn't sure, but then I realized it was $6 and figured it was worth it. Then I saw all your comments about it and felt better. Then I saw the youtube clip Ophelia provided and wanted to slap myself for ever doubting that anything Rufus is in is worth the money. Shame, shame, shame on me. That clip made me cry! He's just so flipping gorgeous. As soon as you see that tear trickle down you want to throw your arms around him and never let go.

and by the way, thanks for the bit of him in the credits, Judy. He does make me smile. We definitely need to see more of him being funny. Are there any blooper reels featuring him on any of his DVDs? I have yet to see any if there are any at all.

I'm trying to remember if there are even any "extras" at all. I guess that means it's time for me to pull out the Illuminata DVD again and have another watch!

Me too! What little information there was on amazon didn't quite convince me ::)

My DVD has some extras (mainly deleted scenes), but I've never seen blooper reels on any of my Rufus DVDs (which is a pity really, I'm sure that would be sooo hilarious!)
