Saxo is a gritty drama that encapsulates the struggles of the music industry in the late '80s. The pacing is slow but deliberate, allowing the weight of bankruptcy to really sink in. The characters, especially Joe and Puppet, have a rawness that feels quite authentic. There's this haunting atmosphere throughout, heightened by Puppet’s tragic fate, which adds an unexpected layer of darkness to what could've been a standard rise-and-fall narrative. The practical effects are minimal but effective, keeping the focus on the performances. You can really feel the desperation and ambition of these musicians as they navigate their harsh reality. It's a film that lingers long after the credits roll, with a distinctive edge that sets it apart from more conventional music dramas.
