Inserts

A degenerate film, with dignity.

Directed by John Byrum

Produced by United Artists, Film and General Productions

1975117 min5.7 / 10

A darkly comic, claustrophobic study of artistic decline and sexual desperation in a decaying Hollywood mansion, where a once-great director retreats into pornography and delusion.

A young, once-great Hollywood film director refuses to accept changing times during the early 1930s, and confines himself to his decaying mansion to make silent porn flicks.
