Good experimental filmmaking

Rip Torn is very good as Bill, a Psychiatrist whose life is literally "coming apart". And what's worse, he's filming it. Shot mostly from one static vantage point, the entire film takes place in a New York City high rise. We watch as Bill's life unfolds in front of us. His dysfunctional marriage, his trysts with women patients, and so on. Truly a fascinating little film, perhaps way before it's time, and unjustly ignored.

Trivia
Sally Kirkland said she was comfortable shooting the nude and erotic scenes with Rip Torn because they had dated previously, so they had already seen each other naked and had sex. The only difference is they had a cameraman and crew watching them this time. But she said Torn wasn't shy and she was used to being naked in front of people after performing naked on stage and in the movie Futz, which she filmed just before this one.

Quotes
Joe: ...You're all tripped out. Speed freaks. You're screwy, Baby! Ever see the inside of a 24-hour cold capsule? That's what your chromosomes probably look like. If I knocked you up, you'd probably have a giraffe.

Alternate versions
Due to licensing issues, all home video releases of the film, including the Kino VHS and the Kino Lorber/Film Desk BluRay edition, replace the previous song score by Jefferson Airplane with other music.
