interesting outsider drug film
24 April 2022
A young couple falls into heroin addiction in Hollywood. Various characters deal with this drug underworld. This starts with interviews with addicts and they look real. This has a pseudo-realism feel. I wouldn't be surprised if anybody is a real addict. There is some realistic drug use. It looks like there is some guerilla filmmaking here. Some of the camera work is either daringly experimental or poorly amateurish. I can't decide which. I don't recognize any of these actors and they're fine. The director is using long takes and the actors are trying their best. The plot meanders and lacks drama. The intensity can't build. It's an interesting outsider film although it's not great cinema. It has some interesting aspects.
