AFS Lates: Barbet Schroeder's 'More'

Love and defiant youth are aflame in this paradisiac, Pink Floyd-scored junkie illusion. A sweltering descent into sunbaked psychedelia from director Barbet Schroeder, the Nestor Almendros-lensed MORE spills onto the screen with hazy, washed out nihilism. Glamorous, kaftan-clad embodiment of heroin chic Estelle (Mimsy Farmer), an American expatriate, meets and seduces a German student into tuning in and dropping out into the exciting world of sex, drugs, and counterculture. As their lust grows, the couple discovers freedom is just another mirage under the rays of the sun. (Jazmyne Moreno)
