We watch a very slender woman with close-cropped dark hair working at white desk in a small, white, cubicle-like office. Positioned above and to the side of her desk, the camera's wide-angle lens distorts the scene, rendering straight lines as curves, and producing a sense of deep spacial recession in a confined room. Forty-minutes long, Bacher's video distills individual frames from documentary footage, reanimating them as a succession of stills. Time-code numbers at the top of the frame record the date and time of each image. [Overview courtesy of University of California, Riverside]

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
