Two girls, a bed and a bottle. Ten minutes. This is the material and this is the first Stephen Dwoskin, a cinematographer come out of the convulsing 60's, easily related with Bruce Conner and Andy Warhol, but with a extraordinary career that is giving great results even today. Here we can find an approximation to the first shorts filmed by Chantal Akerman (I'm thinking of "The room", 1972) mainly because Dwoskin explores the world next to him. But Dwoskin dreams, fantasizes with sex. The texture and the editing of the images makes me think in Perry Farrel and Jane's Addiction. Nowadays, this director, confined to a wheelchair, keeps wondering, with infinite sadness about this sick world, the memories, his parents, his dreams. Highly recommended for whoever have seen the last (and overrated) Julian Schnabel feature.
