Plot

A teenager looks up to his older brother.

Sinekatalog’s take

Francis Ford Coppola's black-and-white teen fable is stylised, moody and dreamlike. Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke anchor an odd, poetic study of brotherhood, with Stewart Copeland's score adding drive.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
