Story of desolation as two friends travel from Nova Scotia to Toronto in hope of finding a better life. Drifting from job to job: bottling plant, car wash, bowling alley, newspaper delivery, and in between enjoying the night life of the big city. Their previous life is looking better all the time. This movie is a time capsule of Toronto's Yonge Street - record stores (defunct A&A's), bars, and old neighbourhood side streets. (imdb)

Reminded me of 'Midnight Cowboy'. It also has a lot in common with British kitchen sink dramas. The two actors work really well together and the director takes his time telling a story of their characters' navigation through city life. Great film.

Cassavetes style on the road. Awesome.

Hopelessly wandering, the movie captures that kind of eastern Canadian sentiment as it came out of the 60s and into the uncertain 70s, with the focus on everyday guys that have no clue what they're doing or where they're going; a slice of life commentary that's like an antithesis of Easy Rider.
