Bohemian junkie poet Dan falls in love with gorgeous, but emotionally scewed up, art student Candy, whom he turns on to heroin. Junkies together their relationship alternates between states of oblivion, self-destruction and despair. With sympathetic performances from all concerned 'Candy' is an interesting observation of drug addiction and the blurring of emotional perception that it can bring. Don't be turned off, the tone of the movie is not as bleak as the storyline suggests.

A dark, uncompromising film which shows how fickle and cruel fate can be. There are some moments of humour but they are jet jet

Cross-dressing club-kid Eddie vies with a rival drag-queen for the favours of drug-dealing cabaret-manager Gonda in this unflinching and often brutal portrayal of Japanese gay subculture. Matsumoto achieves a line between pathos and hilarity that makes Funeral Parade of Roses utterly unique; a feverish collision of avant-garde aesthetics and grind-house shocks (not to mention a direct influence on Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange). In addition this psychedelic era film is a gay play on the O

Two genius brothers grow up and grow apart as one becomes a successful surgeon and the other pursues a drug-fueled high life. <br>
James Franco's self-penned and directed feature is a modest piece of work. There are moments that show off his exceptional talents (the drugged-up plane flight has a surreal comic intensity in particular) and the film has a nicely surprising moral ambivalence. On the whole though, the overfamiliarity of the set-up and characters proves to much of a drag

Cahit's life is on the rocks, his wife's dead, his job's collecting empties in a rock bar, his clothes are a mess and his flat is a garbage tip. He meets fellow third generation Turkish-German Sibel, who wishes nothing more than to escape the embraces of her deeply religious family, and who proposes a marriage of convenience. The film charts the long and tortuous relationship of these two self-destructive rock'n'rollers in a 'narcotically vivid love story'. More than just a movie.
