09/21/2013 Well-acted sleeper about a young man's coming-of-age of 1968. See more 10/03/2011 watched this movie again after 20 years...fantastic drama... See more 06/16/2009 What a beautiful, lyrical movie. College dropout drifts through his life until he finally makes a decision about it - and subsequently finds out that his best interest is in absenting himself from a choice altogether. Use of music is superlative. Sensitively handled, makes some sense out of the Vietnam situation and the average American male's perspective. Hypnotic film, well handled by a largely unknown cast.
