Ara Shehigian’s performance as Roger is certainly chilling but praiseworthy – leaving the audience feeling empathy and equally uncomfortable. In flashback, Roger’s mother advises him to “learn to take care of yourself” – this dilemma is ever more apparent as scenes of peeping-Tom sexual adventures and prescription drug use showcase his depressive state and adolescent mind. Cinematography, sound and music aid the tone of the era and help to create a dreamlike sedation from start to finish. Highly recommended.
