the egg test After spending the evening in a disco with a man, Mary doesn’t exactly remember everything she did. In order to put a nagging doubt to rest, accompanied by her best friend she decides to undergo the “egg test.” “In order to give credibility to the persistence of a superstition like this, we set the story in a ‘boorish’ world. Only these kinds of people can combine contemporary ways of behavior with archaic popular culture. We watched lots of TV and collected lots of dialog. When we got ready to film we were already irredeemably contaminated by and taken with this world – even if we recreated it in a film studio – full of emotions, cheating on companions, recriminations, poetry.”
