Ruiz before magic-realism. Interesting. Notice the shots in the car - a bit of 'Breathless' there, perhaps. Also notice the camerawork - Ruiz is already interested in moving the camera in unusual ways - in framing 'imperfectly', drifting... The low angles are pure Ruiz, but he clearly economizes by editing less. An early work with much evidence of promise already; not just ripping off the New Wavers, as most (like Bertolucci) were doing.
