I found this rare(maybe) movie by a complete desperation in search of movies pre 2000. my excuse is that pre digital movies look smoother to the eye and are involving real proffessionals at work. and by this account i can watch anything made pre digital with no single distaste. the movie is a rollercoaster, it will punch you in the face and kick your guts with the brutal reality of it's main characters life struggles (3 overall). this movie requires you to submit and accept it's premise, It's really hard to accept this one without letting your mind go and than it really works out somehow. from slow burn movie, it makes a very intriguing move to a whole funny, chaotic cinematic experience. the characters have up and downs, crazy ticks and crazy resets. i know nothing about director names and i really don't follow actors or producers but this movie is really worth a try.
