Human Traffic 4K 1999

The cover of the disc says: ‘The last great film of the 90s’. I completely agree with that.

Viewers who haven't seen ‘Human Traffic’ and have no connection to drugs or club culture may ask themselves: ‘How much will I understand this film?’. About 90%. Because the film hardly touches on the topic of ‘how this or that drug works’.

There are a lot of drugs, but they are not the focus. The focus is on the feelings of young people, their relationships, their thoughts, dreams and plans. One of the main features of this film is its sincerity, which is so often lacking in American films about young people. Directors often try to make a film candid by showing the viewer themselves, but this candor lacks sincerity and is merely a desire to shock with the truthfulness of the spectacle. But after watching “Breakaway,” the viewer may feel like they have just met a group of cool kids and had a great time with them — that's how well the director conveyed the atmosphere of club life. It's a pity that the director has only made two films. It's worth noting that Human Traffic makes no attempt to imitate The Rock. These are two completely different films.

This is one of the few films that I sometimes rewatch with genuine pleasure. It is a film about young people and for young people. I recommend watching it. If you don't like it after ten minutes, you can safely turn it off. It's just that, due to the peculiarities of your psyche, this nonsense is not for you.
