Dennis, an advertising executive, rebels against his job by purging his house of anything related to advertising. But his attempt to turn his back on the industry takes a bizarre turn when a talking boil appears on his neck. The boil grows larger and larger until it eventually replaces his head.

Directed by Bruce Robinson and starring British national treasure Richard E. Grant, this wickedly dark comedy reunites the creative team behind Withnail & I. Deliciously high concept in its Cronenbergian set-up, How to Get Ahead in Advertising is a spirited satire of yuppie culture and the ’80s man.
