Synopsis: New York Ex-hairdresser Segal tries to deal with his 100 dollar a day Heroin addiction, with moments of self-hatred in his fast lane lifestyle that threatens to destroy him. The portrayal of the Big Apple drug culture is harrowing, harsh, and vivid. Recommended film with excellent cast, with scenes of brilliance and humor due to Passer’s direction.
