Viewing Notes
This movie is giving me so much anxiety. If someone were to tell me that this movie was about apples prior to viewing it I wouldn’t have believed it. Great movie but at times was hard to sympathize with our lead bc he does do some really dipshit things. Seriously.
Also if your buyer is selling crates of apples for $6.50 then you shouldn’t expect that amount from the buyer… like there’s no margin for the buyer then. That’s fucked up.
Kinda crazy how much San Francisco plays a role in film noir.
