One of those movies you want to watch with a remote in hand. Fantastic sense of surreal realism. The store shots are authentic rather than pretentious. Genre bending film. Always good for a second watch. The footage is raw art, and lacks pretentious bullshit. I would try it a third viewing with the sound off, joint in hand...stereo on...its a trip. There are depressing shots and you can "feel" the paint of the walls. Filo (FILO?) seems to be ironic in the title: does the Director intend to say First In Last Out as an ironic description of the alcoholic process? There is a claustrophobic feel to this film, claustrophobic, incredibly urban by implication and economy. A film that is perhaps best appreciated on a second viewing.
