Sinekatalog’s take
A raw, defiant portrait of a young man in a repressive police state who tries to live on music, drink and rebellion after leaving a psychiatric ward. It captures the stifling spirit of its time with grit and dark humour.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
