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 might be the most clueless, lousy protagonist and I get that. This movie has some great dialogue and the animation is top notch. Cool movie.

Some compelling criticisms of white liberalism but the excessive nudity and crudeness undercuts the message pretty often
