A drama directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky.
A rich and soon-to-be dead man has an heir who lives in the sewers with a thief. The thief has run-ins with various characters in town.
Apparently, the producers were so afraid of Alejandro that they forbid him from changing anything in the script, so what is seen is only a shadow of what it should have been. The whole film was focused on the thief, Dima and his character was developed well while others were merely extras in Dima's story. The giant and the midget were an odd pair and the supposedly blind beggars amused me slightly. The rich uncle was pretty wild and the plot was cool. I know you're expecting a green or purple because "Jodorowsky can do no wrong", but tough shit. I'm human, not a character in a film. Hence, this gets a blue "pretty good" rating because Alejandro was denied influence in it and it barely resembled the masterpieces of the great Jodorowsky.
