5.0 out of 5 stars
too much booze and free time (Spoiler info below)!, February 7, 2007
This review is from: In the White City [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is a wonderful film on the effects of too much alcohol and too much free time. Slowly the protagonist slips into a sort of delirium not unlike a nervous breakdown; it's not pretty, but seems more real than any Hollywood rendition of mental angst. The lesson seems to be that you have to loose it all and then from there you can begin to put a semblance of your life together. It will ring true to anyone who has seen or experienced such things--fallen into the abyss and crawled out of it. Along the way, he meets a really cute Portuguese woman, gets rolled by local toughs and takes interesting 8mm movies. Highly recommended.
