I had high expectations given the caste but was stunned by the lack of anything - no depth of character, no humor, repetitive and annoying one dimensional (or more accurately, nondimensional) characters. No, this pathetic "stoner" was only able to live life his way because his wife was wealthy and for some unknown reason all those around him worshipped him and stolidly keep repeating how moondog was such a genius and wrote beautiful poetry. These proclamations were a flop - no glimmers of genius were ever visible. Wealthy hedonistic family with no sense of how most other people lived. The scene where an old man in a wheelchair was beaten and left unconscious while Moondog and his pal robbed him - and left laughing is inexplicable. Bizarre. Overall a pathetic movie
