I HATE THIS TOWN
A collage of close-ups and extravagant details from some erotic films by Russ
Meyer. The movements and expressions that are typical of this genre are edited
and repeated insistently, following the rhythm of electronic music and generating an effect that is contemporaneously farcical, funny and alienating.
