Plot

A young man's ambition and the world's absurdity meet in a low-budget experimental film, shot on Super 8.

Sinekatalog’s take

Richard Linklater's first feature, shot on Super 8 and loosely structured, is a rough, personal and curious early work that shows his later interests.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
