1989 crime movie
Rating: 16/20
Plot: A couple couples rob drugstores and try to avoid being arrested.
"We played a game we couldn't win to the utmost."
Another 1989 film, this one Beat-drenched. And artistically trashy. There's even a home-video quality with scenes book-ending the action. Drug trips with floating superimposed trinkets and hazy idealization, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Matt Dillon's pants. A story about Panda the dog, played wonderfully by Woody the dog, is told with a television filled with dogs and, naturally, an amplified cat's meow. And did I mention Matt Dillon's pants?
I like the score here, squelchy hiccup jazz and carnival jizz.
Anything in life is better with William S. Burroughs. There's never been a human being who can say words like "Narcotics have been systematically scapegoated and demoralized" quite like he can say them.
