Hello. I really like Heavy Traffic, I feel like it doesnt have the same awesomeness that Robert Crumb brought to Fritz the Cat, but the story line is gritty and unforgiving. The main character is a guy called Michael who has an Italian father and a Jewish mother who are constantly at each others throats. He spends most of his time in the games arcade playing pinball, like Fritz the Cat he becomes disillusioned and deciding to go out and live life. There are several subplots featuring other strong characters. I'll go through the characters so as not to spoil the film. There is a crazy man who lives on Michaels roof who Michael likes to get stoned with, the invinvible Godfather who eats spaghetti with little people in it, a queer masochist who spends time in a local bar and is constantly rejected in his advances towards huge burly violent men and cripple who is in love with the bar lady. This film can be watched in parts on youtube at the moment... Do it!!! :D Its interesting.
