Script is garbage...visuals are sublime....

Fascinating (if very juvenile) film....maybe one of the most incoherent plots of all time but a stunning job with the cinematography.

Don't be mad you don't understand the language used in the movie or the themes of that lifestyle. You only hate what you don't understand.

It's not that I didn't understand...the film just meanders all over the place. It could have been a fantastic film if the script even remotely matched the visuals.

True. The story was ridiculously sporadic. It starts off trying to be one thing then just trails off then tries to redeem itself in the end. But its shot very well. Its very beautiful but the acting and the story is junk.

Yeah without the good cinemtography this could have turned out to be... well Belly 2: Millionaire Boyz Club (2008)

The plan is you drink a nice tall glass of shut the *beep* up.
