Moody, unusual, VERY dark comedy/tragedy about a couple of very unusual roommates. Gunderson and Robertson reprised their stage roles, and Kathy Najimy, who directed the stage version, took a cameo role and is -as always- a delight. Unusual supporting cast includes the formidable Shirley Stoler from "Seven Beauties" and Quentin Crisp. The look of the film has an interesting hue, and some of the night shots of Manhattan have a haunting and beautiful effect. Bunker (the touching Paul Robertson) is a possibly mentally challenged, but friendly soul who shares a run down apartment with Topsy (Steve Gunderson), a domineering yet ineffective bully. Topsy creates an imaginary world and eventually terrorizes Bunker to keep him under his spell, but Bunker eventually becomes unhinged and their lives begin to unravel.
