Interesting - although flawed film. It does a good job at showing what drew people to Ibiza and similar places; the locations are beautiful and the atmosphere feels cozy. The film gets a lot darker once the characters start doing heroin and it becomes a quite tough watch - which is of course suits the topic. My biggest issue was that the characters are either too distant (Farmer) and/or unsympathetic (Grünberg), so I didn't really care about their fates. Good Pink Floyd soundtrack.

arschloch stefan can't handle the tiger, what else?

Wooden acting but a fantastical story that shows the downside and disillusion that can come with the counterculture. Great subtle soundtrack, good writing for the most part, and some incredible shots

Although there's no one particular aspect of this film that is any good, it transcends its intended quality and acts as an upfront, raw, and honest portrayal of drugs and their 'gateway' (which doesn't happen to everyone, but, hey, this is an isolated story), ultimately concluding on a shocking and rather sudden ending. Groovy.

A fine cautionary tale about the dangers of pursuit of the Sun. The bitch will ruin your life, yo. I always considered Schroeder not that successful version of Herzog, and sure enough his directorial debut is fascinating, but clumsy as hell. "PeopIe who take heroin want to escape from life. PeopIe who smoke weed, or take acid want to intensify their lives. Hippies put heroin down. And junkies put down the little fools that think they've discovered the world.".

Formula: 65 = 55 (Pink Floyd soundtrack + 5 (loads of hippie boobs) + 5 (rest of the movie.

Some quite nice dialogue but everything else is wooden and predictable.

They can't make such incredible soundtracks anymore.

Extremely dated, but I suppose that's part of it's charm. The best scene involves the two leads playing with (what i assume to be real) mercury.

The premise has potential enough. First sensual encounter is portrayed nicely. The moment they travel to plaza it all drops down to mediocre blabber. Do you love me, don't you love me. Blah!

Overstated metaphors (the "sun worshippers" thing is a real groaner), ridiculous dialogue, unnecessary and jarring narration, truly unlikeable characters, horrible acting and dubbing. Even some of the camerawork was clumsy, although Schroeder does manage to capture some pretty shots. Stick with the Pink Floyd album.
