"Michael, a young artist who lives with his neurotic mother and two-timing father, escapes the absurd and often ugly side of life on New York's tough streets by satirizing its rich yet wacky characters in wildly entertaining cartoons. From the gruff homeless and wisecracking prostitutes to gun-toting gangsters and corrupt cops, Michael's world becomes an outlandish kaleidoscope of shocking images and horrifying events that are either a testament of his wild imagination ... or a reminder of the strangeness of reality."--Container.

""[T]he surreal tale of Michael Corleone, a young cartoonist scraping by on the inner-city streets of New York. Using pinball as a metaphor for the highs and lows of urban life, Bakshi once again weaves a marvelously gritty, yet darkly humorous tapestry made of love, prejudice, sex, and murderous betrayal, earning the controversial director the most critically acclaimed film of his career"--Container."@en
"A look at the underside of city life and a young man's effort to follow his fantasies into the sunlight of a better world. He draws the people, plans and paranoid visions of his everyday environment and his drawings leap to life and work out their destinies. A combination of animation and live action."
