English: It's 1959, and the beatnik culture is in full swing, cats! Drug dealer Nico (the late great Peter Falk) ain't no square, he makes a fine living supplying his club patrons, each one trying to find meaning in a new, atomic, capitalist world through art, culture, and cannabis smoke. However, Nico starts to think like the beatniks, even becoming their leader... but its not enough. With gullible Francis in tow (Ron Hartmann), the pair lace a kid's hamburger with broken glass, killing him horribly... for kicks. It's up to Cliff (Jack Betts), brother of the murdered kid, and Ellie (Barbora Lord), Nico's girlfriend (sort of) to help the cops pin the murder on Nico. Peter Falk steals the show, and this film really plays with the beatnik stereotype. It's not often a good idea to let you know who the murderer is at the very start, but this film really pulls it off; not to mention we don't meet our protagonist until a good way in, after we get to know our antagonist much better. Interesting choices, and the film stands out because of it.
