movie review - 200 Cigarettes

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1999.02.25

An amusing series of relationship shorts threaded together as the would-be attendees of a new year's party on the eve of that most momentous year, 1982. Courtney Love was especially watchable. If you're going to be dragged to the cinema by your girlfriend, this is the kind of thing you can hope for, at best.

Recommended.

Though defensive violence will always be a sad necessity in the eyes of men of principle, it would be still more unfortunate if wrongdoers should dominate just men.
