This director's masterpiece. Conceived and shot during the churn of Vietnam, this film, more than any other of that time, brought home just how violent American society had always been. Widely criticized at the time of its release, it mirrored the sense of nihilism and despair thinking people felt at the continuing degradation our culture was then undergoing.
Still relevant, even more apt today. Watch it and weep.
Damn good storytelling too.
