Viewing Notes
This is misogynistic, racist, sexist, profane… you get the idea. It’s another Bakshi drug-induced cartoon layered over live scenes of New York City from the early 70s (and earlier). Although not without flaws, it’s effective as Bakshi’s imaginary journey growing up in the Big City. Sometimes fun and most of the time just weird.
