So this is a student film by Martin Scorsese, a movie that is one of his first works and also probably the oldest surviving one. It's clear that the technique was not professional and perfect, but it's also clear that Scorsese had ideas and was able to present characters even in limited time, not to mention that the story makes sense and it's quite an interesting personal drama. Where does a person's place lie among friends?
