9/10
journeyman

Oldest story form which frankly not many take on today-the journeyman theme. I caught this movie on VHS and wish that ,in the age of the DVD someone would remaster this title,so I can retire my old beat up version. I've watched this movie a dozen times and love the journey. I didn't always appreciate the soundtrack BUT one reviewer aptly calls it classic; the movie would not be the same without it. The surrealism of using actors to double roles, the jumpy nature of his journey and the metaphor going on in that cold war installation joined with the crazy dark experiment scene! You won't find a statement/image like that in many movies, underground or mainstream. What a shocker! This is a great movie. A DVD version has just got to happen.
