Viewing Notes

Fourth movie in the TR TV New Years Eve blind marathon, all movies that Jason hasn’t seen but felt like inviting everyone to join and watch with him (I guess he does this marathon on his own every year).

I dunno how to even describe this wild experimental socio-political sci-fi flick set in a near distant future NYC. It’s like a patchwork of scenes loosely related yet doesn’t quite gel in way to make much sense. But I give it credit for its ambition and making it somewhat compelling from a WTF is happening standpoint.
