Set in 1963, this was a coming-of-age film that featured the friendship between two young men separated by their new-found interest in young women but ultimately brought together in a resolution that had them battered but still bonded by their love for each other.
The film was released in 1983 and I don't think I've seen a drama with these themes done better before or since. Some of the specific conflicts were time/culture dependent but the universal nature of the process of growing up and facing adult realities made this applicable to all times and all countries.
Another feather for this director.
