Trader's Day 1988: woohoo, says the cowboy!

What can we say about this? It is boring, but a good representation of a trader's day... That's a bit it. Almost as exciting as watching an Andy Warhol-picture. That's pretty much as close a compliment as can be. The animal sequences are nice. Intruiging, to say the least. But, is it a movie??? Does it entertain??? Rather the opposite,but in it's experimental value I do adore thus short film quite a bit.

The biography, or "biopic", is a genre that portrays the life story of a real person, often a notable individual or historical figure. They aim to provide a depiction of the subject's personal history, achievements, challenges, and impact on society.
