CGiii Comment
What a strange little film...
The sleeping arrangements alone will raise a few eyebrows...
The Bolero sequence is not for the faint-hearted...a fat, naked man prancing about with a tissue and headphones that are plugged into his back passage...this is not the worst of it.
The camera work is amateur and there no lighting in evidence. You get the distinct impression that it was made-up and filmed on the spot - if that's the case, it's not a good example of improvisation.
A film that deserved better production values and a major re-write...there is an interesting idea lurking behind all the baloney.
