Truthful. Understated. Humanistic. Beautiful. Raw.
Like the best of Faces, A Woman Under the Influence, Midnight Cowboy, Easy Rider, Mean Streets, and a few more.
The characters were rich with depth and contradictions.
It felt like a poem in motion, transcending the craft of film making, and becoming an "experience" of watching people unfold and live in front of your eyes.
And like the great films of the 60's and 70's, there is no shying away from the truth and harsh realities. But the approach is layered with a humanistic view; believing that we can be responsible for our own lives if we can admit to ourselves that we have weaknesses and sometimes need help. It's also about the dream of "free-living" as opposed to being part of the modern "system." How do you live "freely" when you have to make money and follow all laws of society? There is no one answer. This film though will stimulate some new thoughts and reflections. How deep will you go?
Highly recommended for enthusiasts of character pieces.
