Saw this film again after about twenty years recently. It's actually better than I remember, simply a film by a master with actors, cinematographers, back room people who rise to the challenge of the material.
Mostly I was impressed by the editing, complete with the accompanying music, the dissolves, the wholeness of all the parts and stories.
But my God is it sordid, featuring depressed people, some on drugs, all on anger, with despair their commonest theme.
A true masterpiece and the worst advertisement for Los Angeles I have ever seen.
