An off-beat film that
isn't for everyone's pleasure, Floundering offers a desperate view from a different kind of
twenty-somethings . film observations. James LeGros plays John Boyz, an Los Angeles observer of
life, moving about in half confused reality and shocking fantasy. The audiences line of sight
is often broken. It's at times humorous and biting and at other moments rather depressing.
The full frame 1.33 transfer is soft in many scenes which prevents the grainy
nature of the film from becoming oppressive. The contemporary music soundtrack is loud but
effective.
