Summary: 5 Stars
With a soundtrack by Pink Floyd and a trip to the sunny Mediterreanian island of Ibiza what could go wrong? In a word, Heroin. Two happy-go-lucky people meet in Europe during the late 60's, when freedom was believed to be more than a slogan. Moving within the counterculture of the time, they meet amid the rebellion of their peers, who consumed illicit drugs by increasing numbers. Seeking fun and relaxed living they boat to Ibiza, apparently a heroin staging site. They become hooked and lose their freedom. Filmed with great beauty and tragic in it's depth, "More" is the great story of boy meets girl that goes astray. If it weren't for the nudity and obvious drug enjoyment I would recommend it for adolescents. Yet it has an important moral.
Summary of More
Having graduated college, Stefan hitchhikes from Lubeck, Germany, to Paris, France, where he finds the warm embrace of Estelle-an American expatriate and heroin user. Together, they chase the sun to the island of Ibiza where they develop even more interesting relationships with the island's leading drug dealer and a girlfriend of Estelle's. Made in the late sixties, Barbet Schroeder's (Barfly) directorial debut is a treatment of pleasure, pain and tragedy that stands apart from numerous counterculture exploitation films. With Academy Award? winning cinematographer Nestor Almendros (Days of Heaven), More never resorts to predictable LSD-induced stylistics, but rather atypically adopts a style of objectivity to illuminate the ideas and emotions that contribute to a lifestyle of destructive excess. After years of languish this relevant cult classic, featuring a soundtrack by Pink Floyd, is finally available for a new generation.Barbet Schroeder, the Oscar-nominated director of Reversal of Fortune, made his debut with this jaundiced view of the European youth drug culture. Klaus Gr?nberg is a naive German student who falls for blond American junkie Mimsy Farmer and discovers drugs in Paris. He follows the flighty babe to Ibiza, a sunny Mediterranean island paradise, where he falls into the world of former Nazi-turned-heroin-pusher Heinz Engelmann and succumbs to addiction. Part counterculture portrait, part antidrug drama, it's a shaggy little film that suggests the New Wave influence in a rambling pace, gorgeous asides of fun in the sun (our heroes get high and tilt at windmills--literally--in one free and easy moment), and deadpan bursts of intermittent narration. But Schroeder has little affinity with youth culture, and the film more often fits the conservative tenor of American cautionary drug dramas of the 1960s and '70s. To the film's credit, it never succumbs to the druggie clich?s of the time. You'll find none of the kaleidoscope lenses, whip pans, sunlight reflections searing the image, or choppy montages to rock & roll hits that fill the drug-culture classics, just the handsome, earthy, intimate photography of N?stor Almendros. Today, More remains most famous for its subdued, moody Pink Floyd score. --Sean Axmaker
