What is fascinating about character is his since of normalcy, he lacks a moral compass from which to work from and the ascension of his obsessive behavior adds unpredictability to the tone of the film. The out of focus, handheld aesthetics, muted and degraded colors add a touch of realism and vintage to the film, and for a period pic working with such a politically charged subject matter, Tony Manero takes a risky, disturbing, but rewarding road in deciphering the air of the moment.
