This is a beautiful film.  I hope that fact shines through the numerous transfers it's endured, somewhat the worse for wear.  I put off posting this film because I wasn't sure it'd be possible, after going from super-8 to video to dub to digitization, to even tell what was going on.

But when I first saw it in full glory, in fresh, lurid super-8 color, I was blown away.

This film is experimental not in the staid, serious art-movie sense of the word, but in the kid sense of the word: experimenting with sex, experimenting with drugs, experimenting with super-8.  As such there's a sense of playfulness about it; testing the limits for fun, to see what you can get away with.  Fast motion?  Slow motion?  Stop motion?  Underwater?  Yes!  Let's try it.

Kevin somehow manages to make it all come together into something well-paced, engaging, coherent, and even thoughtful.  A meditation on aging and responsibility, featuring a guy in a pig mask, set to that one song from The Big Lebowski.
