A great movie nobody knows about, 22 September 1999
8/10
Author: Wizard-8 from Victoria, BC

This appears to have been some kind of "homemade" movie, one of many to come from this period. (Like the 90s, everyone was making a movie in the 70s.) The sound and some of the editing is very crude. Other than that, this is a really good movie! It's not really a comedy, more like a drama with plenty of (light) comic moments. The characters are very interesting in what they do and say. Even if you dislike talky philosophical arty movies, like I usually do, I think you'll enjoy this. The movie also gives us a great taste of what the 70s were like.

This movie isn't available on video, and is only rarely screened on TV, so keep your eyes open for it, because you might not get a second chance.
