Don't Mindfuck Me

Cinematic storytelling powered by Moviepedia.

In Zurich film maker Michael Rauch uses amateur actors, to capture the dreary everyday life of young unemployed heroin addicts who support their habit by selling drugs to junkies on the Zurich Platzspitz {Needle Park]. Camera work, lighting design and film are deliberately neglected. "The crude, amateurish image quality and poor resolution of video-8 blur the line between fiction and reality and shows a shocking document of the urban" quality of life "to the present."
