The storyline of this film is not really easy to follow and understand as usual with Ferrara. Actually, he has something very sad to communicate: the end of movies and movie theaters he thinks will be replaced by video. (Internet should help the video killing the movie.) Ferrara does not see it as a bad thing (as I understood) but points it out as a natural evolution of the 'moving pictures' arts. Denis Hopper finally has a great role.
