Description

A student film by John Gruenberger, San Fernando Valley State College; starring Teri Johnson. A New American Cinema psychodrama dealing with a young actress and her schizophrenic reaction to physical reality and her dream world. "The strange quality about the film may be due to its faithful re-creation of the shapes of dreams. Images flow into one another in black and white and color and are frequently distorted by the use of various lenses and/or forced grain. This is a subtle mesmeric, narcotic experience. It is as if the layers of flesh were to peel away to reveal the mind at work, except that here, we become the mind, and layers of perceptual reality dissolve before our eyes, all according to the plan of a writhing subconscious." - Geoffrey Mallen, Newmedia [Source: Creative Film Society catalog, 1972]
