synopsis
The sharply ironic allusion to both Hollywood and avant-garde cinematography thematizes sexual frustration in a fictitious situation of a depressive freelance director asking an actress to be naked in the shower. Thanks to the combination of humour and a low-quality aesthetic, this is the most famous underground short film by Kuchar.biography
George Kuchar (1942-2011) directed more than 300 short films employing his characteristic do-it-yourself aesthetic.
