Here we get to watch the excruciating unraveling of a high school history teacher. He's hooked on some form of cocaine and like all druggies has become entirely self-absorbed...a user of drugs and people to satisfy his immediate needs or desires. Strong performance by RG easily carried the film.
Over-use of extreme close-up technique became wearying but it did contribute to the sense of immediacy which made the film so strong. I felt like taking a shower afterwards though...this guy was such a filthy scuzz I felt dirtied.
Powerful, unpleasant.
