movie review - 200 Cigarettes

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one 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.
