I had the pleasure of seeing this film with several friends in New York. I have to say, I found it rather complex as well as gripping in many ways. I walked away feeling rather nostalgic. I suppose this is relative due to my generation, myself having been a child of the 70's. I think it was artistically brilliant and a bit 'film noir'. I can't speak for anyone else but I honestly went home and pulled out some old vinyl records and changed into a pair of well worn 'hip hugger' bell bottoms. Meanwhile, my girlfriend felt inspired to throw on her peddle pushers of yester year..yeah 'low riders', 'capri pants'.. Retro. It was a deja vu experience and I'm glad I've kept my record player!
