A fantastic period piece. Unbelievably risqué and racy, and also pretty racist, but it is still a very noteworthy film!
A great satire of the attitude and mindset of the 1960s.
Funny how the political satire in a 70's movie can be applied to today's political panorama.
Classic, but quite trite in multiple ways. I enjoyed it from the shock and animation history perspective I suppose.
Rebellious, experimental and exploitative.
Probably mindblowing at that time, but little bit to dated
Amazing for its The Godfather of adult, satirical animation. If you’re okay with the lack of political correctness it has spunk.
An amazing art film. One of the most underrated pieces of animation. The way they promoted this movie does not do it justice.
Wasn't expecting such a wild ride, but I'm glad I got to experience it.
Yeah, it’s edgy and irreverent but it doesn’t age well.

In late 1960s New York City, fed up with monotonous college life and police repression, free-spirited Fritz, an impenitent seducer and unrestrained party-animal, decides to explore the world. And just like that, as he flees NYC, heading to San Francisco, Fritz embarks on an endless adventure of illumination. Immersed in a world surrounded by drugs and sex, Fritz participates in mad orgies, brings about a revolution, incites mass urban riots, and crosses paths with drug-addled Nazi bikers.
Fritz, now married and a father, is desperate to escape the domestic hell he now finds himself in. Lighting up a joint, he begins to dream about his eight other lives, hoping to find one to provide a pleasant distraction. The drug-induced journeys he takes include spells as an astronaut, Hitler's psychiatrist, a courier travelling in hostile territory during a race war, and as a pupil of an Indian guru in the sewers of New York.
