Art movie!!! - Merry-Go-Round review by PT
Starring Joe Dallesandro (one of Andy Warhol's stars) and Maria Schneider, the plot is hard to understand for me. The scenery and visual aspects are great and there is an interesting improvised soundtrack by Barre Phillips and John Surman, top experimental jazzmen.
