This film obviously is the vain, presumptious project of a young bunch of filmstudents. The story is flat and full of narrative cliches. Also there is a lot of male wishful thinking in here (eg. the student-heros liaison both with his young, blonde philosophy-professor and at the same time with some rich chick owning a sports car). The drug fantasies later on are a poor-mans REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. Everything is striving to be hip. But the jump cuts just look cheap and fidgety, making the viewer nervous instead of adding tempo. Avoid!
