This is a very peculiar little film about a young man who is obsessed with flying and lives a spartan existence within a sports stadium. He has limited contact with other humans and the roles they play in his life only unfold as the story moves on. He has one constant companion who is an older woman who seems to offer advice and protection and seems supportive of his project to build a self powered flying machine. Add to this are a number of unsolved murders which all seem to follow the main protagonist but its not clear whether he has any role in their demise.
The whole tone of the movie is quite bizarre and hilarious in equal measure and is certainly of its time, if you enjoyed Harold and Maude then this may be for you. Some of the dialogue is fantastic and the humour is quite dark but this has plenty of laughs throughout.
The only thing I didn't enjoy was the college professor who gave narration about birds during the movie while making odd bird like noises throughout. That was a bit too much for me however overall its worth tracking down.
