Description

In order to survive on the rough streets of Hamburg, 18-year-old Willi gets by with small-time racketeering. After an arrest, the authorities decide to send him to a reformatory, but he escapes from police custody and falls into the clutches of a pimp who sends him to the gay sex trade. At the same time, Willi meets a journalist, who draws him into hopeless re-socialization projects, primarily to improve his own life. When Willi falls in love with a girl who seems to be even worse off than he is, he sets his mind on freeing her from her dreariness and running away with her. But the accumulated problems are so great that his past catches up with him in a dramatic way...

    Mean streets of New German Cinema

    The only other Klick I've seen is Deadlock, which I liked more, but there is an interesting story here, about a teenager named Willi who can't seem to keep himself out of trouble. I guess I'm going to always compare this kind of stuff to Fassbinder, and Supermarkt didn't hit me in the same way. It does have its moments though and I feel like it's something worth revisiting.

    Good looking transfer, too. And it's cool to see gritty 70s Hamburg. Also, this is the first UHD disc where it gave me the option to switch on HDR or Dolby Vision from the movie menu. Why don't more discs do this?

    Fantastisch

    I live for this kind of discovery. Gritty, naturalistic, soul crushing, working class crime drama. If you’re a fan of the Spanish Quinqui films you need to see this.
