This bleak and very depressing film has little or nothing in the way of acting, direction, lighting or sound to recommend it, and the poorly translated and extremely ungrammatical subtitles don't help at all. The story line was very difficult for me to follow, and for most of the length of the film I was forced to speculate on who was who and what motivations impelled the action. It appears that characters were introduced who had no apparent correlation to the plot, and these characters were gratuitously included in semi-graphic sex scenes.The ending was really disturbing because the film makers, at the very end, highlighted perhaps the grossest of bodily functions. Not recommended for those easily offended.

Good Movie
Tony19862 December 2009
This was a very different movie, and I guess the only way someone would enjoy it is if they are also very different OR very open-minded. I did really enjoy the movie though, it brought together many emotions and showed, in a way, a life (or lives) not lived my many. Seeing the the underground/counter-culture, the effects of drug use, gay culture, and the whole surrounding of it all was very interesting. Don't let it's simple, yet complicated and hard to follow, story line fool you- it is not simple, and when viewed with the right mind, very worth your time. I am not an activist of any sort, nor am I really political in any way, but I found this movie to be a great escape and really did enjoy it. Michael Stock did a wonderful job acting as well.
