Tales of Ordinary Madness
Directed by Marco Ferreri
Produced by 23 Giugno, Ginis Films
A bleak, surreal descent into self-destruction and depravity that uses a poet's alcoholic spiral to explore the darker impulses of human desire and meaning.
Poet/lecturer Charles Serking awakens from his alcoholic haze long enough to take a bus back to L.A. and plunge into an orgy of drink and sexual depravity.
