Nov 17, 1973 · This film is one you'll pretty much love or hate. I think to those who don't like it . . . either you're sensitive to the nudity, issues it covers, or other content material, or maybe you just don't understand it. Sometimes confusion can lead to hatred. But the film is without a doubt visually stimulating.

This movies comes off sort of like an autobiographical film on Mr Bakshi's life instead of it being a satirical film. With that being said 3 out 5 stars for me.

Explicit nudity, inexplicit sex of all types, drugs, and foul language (the "N"-word is uttered a fair bit, an example where such a movie could never be made today) abounds all over. Bakshi tends to like controversal content for the sake of it, but "Heavy Traffic" justifies itself by giving empathy to its bizarre characters.
Heavy Traffic, it’s sleazy, graphic and most definitely offensive even by 70s standards. Of all the animated movies I’ve seen, Bakshi’s Heavy Traffic is most definitely the most daring of them all.
