Movie Info
Meticulously adapted from David Morrell's novel FIRST BLOOD, which introduced the world to a young man named Rambo and his one-man war against a small town and its sheriff, FLOODING WITH LOVE FOR THE KID is in itself a one-man cinematic war. Shot entirely for $96 in a 220-square-foot studio apartment in Manhattan, it was adapted, directed, filmed, acted, designed, and edited by one man. Actor and filmmaker Oberzan, performing all two dozen characters, created this monumental, transgressive

A masterpiece of ingenuity.
Top CriticMr. Oberzan isn't going to win any acting awards with this project, which ultimately feels like a YouTube video that goes on too long, but he certainly establishes his film-editing credentials: the story stays remarkably clear.
I feel like I understand what First Blood is really about much better after seeing this version.
The film might play as a YouTube-y farce for a downtown audience, hard to say, but so far, it's the best movie of 2010.
While the premise might seem like a superficial YouTube stunt, the storytelling is crafty, compelling (falling from a cliff while being chased by a helicopter?!?) and heartfelt enough to explode all sense of cheeky irony.
This is not a "so bad it's good" production-this is a home movie of emotionally astronomical proportions. It wears its hyper-manly heart on its sleeve at every given moment and totally brings you to the brink of Flooding with Love for the Kid.
Engrossing, riveting, amusing and filled with panache and a wickedly offbeat sense of humor. It's an incredible feat of filmmaking that must be seen to be believed.
Oberzan is mostly successful in revitalizing the dime-store psychology and blood n' guts of First Blood through storytelling as childlike play.
