Quick Answer

What is Oddo about?

Oddo is a 1967 American drama-thriller directed by Nick Millard about a traumatized Vietnam War hero whose return to San Francisco triggers a violent and nihilistic rampage.

Programmer's Pick

Nick Millard’s Oddo doesn’t just flirt with exploitation—it grabs it by the garter belt and drags it through the streets of 1960s San Francisco. If you like your cinema damaged, delirious, and unapologetically raw, this is your ticket.
