The Stranger

Still Orangutans is the Brazilian Slacker. In one 81-minute shot, the camera wanders around a hot city, following weird people: A little kid threatens a cashier's life (funnier than it sounds), a lesbian fights with a drunk Santa, two wasters drink perfume and pass out, a crazed writer harries an old man on the sidewalk, and so on. The movie suffers from a soft midsection, but begins with the sad beauty of a dead woman on a subway and ends with an eloping couple and a hand grenade.
