i dont really know, but probable everyone was coked up in 1982
that movie makes zero sense! and no, not in an avant-garde kind of way.
i think everyone was just coked up in 1982. starting with paul schrader.
the one from the 40s is better. actually watchable, good story.

I forgot it was a Paul Schrader film. I'm just as bemused by the praise for his other biggie, American Gigolo. Another coke-fuelled mess. Schrader wrote some incredible screenplays but he pretty much leaves me cold as a director.
Ironically, while the whole coke scene in Hollywood at that time produced some truly awful films, like Cat People (and anyone remember The Hunger?) it did at least give us some great comedies, like The Blues Brothers, Animal House, Caddyshack, etc - which in hindesight were essentially just multi-million dollar drug binges, thinly disguised as movies.
