4/10
Only a glimpse of things to come
15 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
This is the very first film made by 3-time Academy Award winner Oliver Stone and he was in his mid-20s when he shot it before a break of roughly 8 years until his next work. While it's by no means bad, it really only rarely indicates the talent and career that were ahead of him. It's black and white, rather bleak, including a melancholic soundtrack and mainly shots of houses, streets and occasionally animals as well, while a female narrator delivers the fitting words to what we see. In French, though.

I don't think you're missing much if you give this one a pass. It's really only worth checking out if you're interested into the early years of the biggest filmmakers these days or if you're an Oliver Stone completionist.
