one of my favorite FLOYD albums... funny that the band is credited as THE PINK FLOYD

the movie is cool, i loved it, flowed well and has a great feel to it, and i liked the characters, they were very realistic

but the ending was so lame... i mean, i knew someone would die, if not both of them, but the death was so fast and hurried, seemed rushed, and the movie just ended, kerplunk it's finished, needed more of a lead up to the tragedy; i realize that it's realistic to have someone die in this fashion, but it still seemed rushed and was a weak ending to a good movie

I saw it in Atlanta back in the late 70's. It's not a very joyous film. The characters are not very happy. Yes, the ending was abrupt, but it made some sense when the guy with the mustache warned the male lead that this woman would ruin him just as she'd ruined other men.
I notice that they didn't play the songs all the way through, but, all in all, it was an interesting film.

The abrupt ending makes perfect sense to me, at least in the context.
"Easy Rider" ended that way, and the idea is basically the same: it's a film about taking life to the extreme, not about detailed agony. I hated it when "Leaving Las Vegas" went on and on although the fate of the main character was pretty much sealed.

I agree. In these kind of movies the ending is usually a crash of some kind. i thought the film as a whole started off very average, but about midway through it became poignant almost suddenly and from then on I really enjoyed it. Estelle and Stefan reminded me a little of Hailey and Sam from Mark Z Danielewski's book 'Only Revolutions'... a strange couple with a bond you can never quite define but you can always feel, and they antagonise each other into oblivion. The irony is that Ibiza at the time looked so idyllic, and they ruined themselves on it. Most films about heroin addiction are set in grimy cities.

Yeah, that was unique, it's more like a club med experience 😂
