Almost a precursor to the phenomenon that is reality TV today, this
1976 title delivers a voyeuristic look at how people interact and
behave when confined to a single room. The film depicts the results
of an idea by avant-garde director Stephen Dwoskin to bring
together a group of strangers, who volunteered to participate, and
film them over a period of five days encouraging them to explore
and act out their fantasies. The outcome, which was edited from 15
hours of footage filmed by Dwoskin, shows the formation of intense
encounters and relationships. The use of ceremonial gowns and
elaborate make up further add to the atmosphere of this provocative
and experimental film.
