In experimental filmmaker
Arthur Lipsett's first film, an avant-garde story--sometimes eccentric, sometimes satirical--unfolds, through an unconventional use of concise narrative, various hints of documentary, a conceptual collage of sounds and images, and finally, a rapid-fire montage. In the end, by blending all these elements with stock footage, a rich collection of personal photographs and visible diametrical contradictions, the director attempts a vivid portrayal of urban estrangement, in the times of social erosion, cultural diversity, modern-time anxieties, cut-throat commercialism, and above all, rampant materialism.
