Year: 2000

Runtime: 94 mins.

Synopsis: In this “Lynch-like vision of the rotting underbelly of Middle America” (Stephen Holden, The New York Times), the downfall of a lingerie model is portrayed against the depressing, menacing milieus of the men she caters to, including an angry, jealous, middle-aged failure and his strange, no-necked friend. James Fotopoulos presents this dark, sinister story as a three-part feature in the unnerving, highly original style that has made him a major figure of the underground cinema. (from Facets)
