Our take
A rare Vietnam film that deals with the immediate aftermath of the U.S. withdrawal, this formally fractured road movie blurs the lines between fantasy and reality. Starring an electric Dennis Hopper as a troubled veteran, Tracks is a jaggedly paranoid New Hollywood gem from director Henry Jaglom.
