Acting Out (1978)

You and Your Fantasy on Film

Genre : Documentary, Drama

Runtime : 1H 23M

Director : Carl Gurevich, Ralph Rosenblum

Synopsis

This unusual documentary-style feature starts with ordinary people discussing their private erotic desires; what sets it apart from other documentaries, which often feature a lot of talk, is that in this experimental film, 10 of the subjects then act out their most intimate fantasies. Carl Gurevich and Ralph Rosenblum (the acclaimed editor of Woody Allen's comedies Annie Hall and Sleeper) co-direct this daring peek into the human sexual psyche.
