Credits
Cinematography: Didier Loiseau Oliver Stone
Plot
Oliver Stone's first student film is about a man returning home from Vietnam and not being able to fit in. We see him throw away the stuff he got while serving and then he heads out to walk around NYC.
Sinekatalog’s take
A veteran back from Vietnam cannot fit in, throws away what he brought home and wanders New York. Oliver Stone's first student film is rough but heartfelt, already showing his preoccupation with war's aftermath. A modest but telling early work.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
