For Example: A Critique of Never
Writer
Experimental documentary film, set in the then-present day, about an impoverished, lost boy, living alone in the Bowery.
Why Not: A Serenade of Eschatological Ecology
The Narrator (voice)
Why Not is hypnotic, compulsive and claustrophobic. It is bathed in a cold, pervasive eroticism, which, oblique and displaced at first, finally becomes explicit in one of the most bizarre masturbation sequences ever filmed. For almost two hours, we observe a young, strikingly pretty girl, nude most of the time and alone in an apartment, engaged in a sonambulistic and sensuous attempt at coming to terms with herself.
