In the black corner of the city, the cynic youth outside the mainstream, like that era, are full of violent, hedonistic, and destructive emotions. They swayed on the dirty and gray streets of New York, covering reality with words, confronting nothingness with actions, and then being ruthlessly swallowed up.

I love watching directorial debuts. I love this movie, the director often infuses a lot of what really belongs to him in his first work. The shooting scene with the music at the end is wonderful, the young Scorsese and Robert Denis are full of charm

Oscar: Look Charlie, you're a good boy. Will you just tell your uncle that I have nothing. There is nothing to give him. No envelopes with cash inside, no checks, nothing.
Charlie: That bad, huh?
Oscar: I can't make this week's payment and if this keeps up not next week's either.
Charlie: Not next week's either... listen... you tell that to Giovanni, not me.
Oscar: Listen, I should wrap up this place in a ribbon and hand it to him, you know that. I don't need this aggravation. I'm getting old.
Charlie: He'd rather have the loan payed, you know that.
