Dear friends,
Things are not looking good over here in Europe. Just about every virus metric is rising exponentially and a second wave of lockdowns is about to hit.
Wherever you live, I hope you and your loved ones stay safe.
Gutterbug
New on Amazon Prime U.S.
This small-budget but big-scope crime drama is about a punk rock drifter who decides on his 21st birthday to go back home. Themes of violence, drug abuse, and homelessness characterize his journey.
Gutterbug often gets called this generation’s Trainspotting but it may be closer to Into the Wild. Beneath all the madness is a frustration with American society and a will to try an alternative way of life.
