    A surreal portrait of a woman longing
    Anger. She looks through the wardrobe, not knowing what fits her style. The surreal orchestra plays as she finds the one that is the

    best without a doubt-the black dress. It is beautiful and sparkling.

    She places it on herself and walks around. Once she has had enough she

    rests-awaking next morning to find herself in a distraught position outside. The dogs are lined up, she takes them for a walk-leaving her southern Californian house in mourning.

    This is indeed one of Anger's best. It depicts his childhood fascinations with movie-stars and bizarre situations.

    I recommend this film to every fan of avant garde or follower of a subculture/art.
