Al's first movie, from 1971, before he ever knew he'd be worldly successfull, known and esteemed.

Very good..

Another example of movies made on the seventies, capturing some of that age's atmosphere and projecting it to us..uniquely.

Some great start for Al's movie career...

I just finished watching it, after 19 years longing to see it.. =)

The story of Bobby and Helen, who meet on the house of a common friend in NY and get involved.

Humans living along their everyday routines of swelling on their sadness, pains, trying to cope with them with heroin and cocaine, draggin' themselves around the streets, selling and buying dope, looking for nothing else other than reaffirmation for their habits..

The mingle of their lives and the big city pulsation, each day, corrosing their souls, the effects of time, of their abandon on themselves..

There is beauty, there is meaning, it is on the whole of it.

'So?' - Bobby says in the end, to Helen.

They walk on, silent.
