addiction and philosophy (obvs), but also aids, queerness, sexual dynamics/assault, and images of the holocaust. since none of this is subtle at all, the result is a tad overwhelming; too much meaning devolves into a cavalcade of surface-level allusions that point at nothing. i wasn't bothered by, but also didn't enjoy the disjointed structure: the entire movie is more of a series of vignettes, chronological but unconcerned with depicting continuity. christopher walken's scene seems to have no follow-up, for example, and no discernible effect on her actions or beliefs. the movie has him say... read more

like a pre-emptive antithesis to blade set in greenwich village to the tunes of cypress hill and schooly-d. what could've been a wanky student film is never allowed to go there due to ferrara's maturity and lack of ego. "disease isn't real it's a correction." also: goddammit lili taylor is such an underappreciated actress, she's totally ruled everything i've seen her in so far. read more

Not having read the synopsis and having seen a couple of Abel Ferrara's movies I definitely thought it was just another drug movie but it's about addiction of another sort. Loved that it was filmed in Black and White and had a very good cast but all except Lili Taylor just flash in and out.Lili Taylor is very good and it's great to see her have a leading role. Movie is a bit slow in story but running time is only 80 minutes so it's a q uick watch. read more

Saw on AMC+ on Black Friday 2021. This is about a philosophy grad student born the same year as me whose studies dovetailed with my own.
