In an efficiently run universe, Criterion’s set would come with any film-school acceptance letter.
The film still simmers with the nascent emotion and turmoil that would come to mark the career of John Cassavetes.
The direction shows a loose-limbed, sideways-glancing touch that hits the gags without suffocating them.
Whether or not this stoner classic is as funny as you remember, this edition is a munchies-included keeper for C&C fans.
