US, 1997, 35mm, color, 114 min.

In this Roman Polanski-like dark joke of a film, a psychologist (Goldwyn) lives and does therapy in a tenament on the Upper West Side of New York; and the infrastructure of the building is as unstable as his very unstable patients. The roof above comes tumbling down, allowing him to peek into the bathtub activities of his fleshy upstairs neighbor. Everyone gets crazier and crazier, especially our shrink, and the movie gets nutsoid too, sliding into dadaism. The New York Post: "Filmmaker Madison, who also wrote the screenplay, has a sharp sense of the macabre, and the movie’s ending is as unexpected as it is strange."
