This movie truly didn't need dialogue. With a soundtrack by Kid Loco, and a story that is as surreal and beautiful-- the written dialog becomes a secondary in such a film. Nick aka "Rupture", the graffiti artist, is a loner. His artistic "tagging" gets him in trouble with the law where he finds himself moving from Portland to Seattle meeting up with Jesse aka "Flip." A relationship grows between them as they "tag" together and live together. They become intimate, Jesse becomes more uncomfortable with those feelings, takes flight back to Portland leaving a tragic Nick, high and dry. This movie is less about Nick and Jesse's relationship and more about the outstanding artist, Nick is, and what limits he will go to show it, even jail. Great dream-like movie that takes you into the life of an artist, a graffiti artist. I got to see it @ a Film Festival and cannot wait to see it again and again.
