It's 1965, the school year is drawing to a close, and a group of high school
seniors pause on the brink of Real Life. If it sounds a lot like American
Graffiti, you're right...but this film takes place in 1965, not 1962. In the
interim, JFK has been assassinated, the Civil rights movement is boiling to a
Watts riot showdown, and Vietnam has become a divisive issue. Writer-director
Mutrux effectively blends nostalgia and political awareness in this entertaining
film. Made in 1990.
