User Reviews

What's the point

This film is about a young man who is just released from prison.

The story is basically non existent, as it only shows the mundane life of a young man who has not got much to live for. It shows him driving from one place to another very frequently, which is rather unexciting. Most of the camera work is from afar, which adds to the detached feeling between the viewers and the characters. I'm afraid I found this film very boring, and I don't quite get the point behind the story, or indeed the point of the story
