This is a beautiful film. Released in 1976 then later edited and released in 1978. I've now seen both, the 76 version has a few longer scenes, not much difference.
The first time i saw this all i could think about is how much it reminded me of Vincent Gallo's Buffalo 66. Same feel, same oddness.
This picture is about a strip club owner who get in a little trouble with the wrong kind of people after diving in a gambling debt. But what this movie is really about is a guy who is an artist. His art is his life. The club is an original. They have song and dance routines that he writes and directs. This scene is what he lives for. Then there's these bad guys that basically control his destiny. They get in his way of his art. There are things he has to do that he doesn't want to do all for the sake of his art.
I can't put these themes into words. I feel like a failure.
Just know that i 100% understand and relate to this film and what it's trying to say.
