Deathdream

Just watched it on my 37th birthday, what a cozy depressing experience it was. Ok, following sentence can be used for a lot of 70s downers: last third is unbelievably devastating. Love how underwhelming it starts and how it slowly delves into war's insidiously destructive and incalculable social effects -- one good boy is sent to Vietnam and returns home as a soul-sucking entity that obliterates his family and impacts an entire community. Kept imagining what a powerful double feature it forms with Rolling Thunder.
