Two young men, both writers, submit manuscripts to publishers at the beginning of this film and we follow the arc of the next few years of their lives. Both go through painful experiences as they stagger their way free from the prison of adolescence into...well, whatever comes after that.
One steps through the looking glass into madness...his recovery is achingly realistic, particularly the loss of his lover. The other achieves instant fame, which comes with smackdowns he never anticipated.
Nice modernistic editing and sound design gave the film a sophisticated aura. Intelligent and moving drama of passage.
