IMDb plot summary: An offbeat, episodic film about three friends, Paul, a shy love-seeker, Lloyd, a vibrant conspiracy nut, and Jon, an aspiring filmmaker and peeping tom. The film satirizes free-love, the Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, and amateur filmmaking.
Directed by Brian De Palma. Starring Jonathan Warden, Robert De Niro, Gerrit Graham, and Richard Hamilton.
While this is significantly better than De Palma's other 1968 film Murder a la Mod, it's still primarily just following around the most obnoxious, terrible human beings around, and watching them being dull at other people. It feels inescapably like a student film, experimenting with styles more than creating a cohesive piece from beginning to end.
