VIBE
This film feels like a sun-drenched, drug-addled dream, a darkly comedic and melancholic journey through a fading counterculture. It's a hazy, surreal neo-noir that washes over you, full of eccentric characters and a pervasive sense of longing and paranoia, all wrapped in a distinctly 70s California haze.
