Wonderfully Disturbing

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2003)

A film about a man who becomes detached from society and reality, possibly due to his experience in the war. With no roots, no family, no way to connect to others and living in the open sewer that was NY in the seventies, he slowly drifts towards a madness from which he has one escape - death. The end of the film is truly memorable. Great picture that captures Dickensian low-life of New York in the seventies
