Background: Carl Colpaert’s 1991 neo-noir thriller Delusion holds significant cult status within early 1990s independent cinema, distinguished by its stark Nevada desert backdrop, tense three-way character dynamic—starring Jim Metzler as an embezzling executive alongside Jennifer Rubin and Kyle Secor as dangerous hitchhikers—and a brief appearance by Jerry Orbach. Beyond its gritty narrative of greed and deception, the film is particularly acclaimed for its evocative, moody original score composed by Barry Adamson (formerly of Magazine and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), which was released on Mute Records and stands out as a landmark post-punk/film noir soundscape of the era.
