This is a delightful movie, with a dream cast. John Cassavetes and
everyone involved in the production both behind & in front of the
camera deserve applause. It's "Alice In Wonderland" / ironic
observation about just how "important" time is stands in 2005, just as
it did in 1982.
And they all worked for FREE. 2 Day shoot.....One of the 1st AFI
American Women In Film grants......an AMAZING little film....watch it
and remember 35mm,Steenbecks, and the great people who contribute what
they have to offer and give to struggling filmmakers because they
believe in "small" projects, and are willing to take chances in spite
of the backlash of petty criticism which inevitably comes from seekers
of High Concept With Topspin, and multi Pic Pcks=Mega bucks.

This is a short film (22mins) that I saw over 20 years ago as an opener
to a feature film, and I cannot forget the impressions it made. The
idea of a busy executive, already short on time, making a choice that
leads to unexpected seduction into a world of extraordinary service and
delight that transforms his experience of living and connects him to
his humanity, and disrupts his plans and intentions was--and is to this
day--powerful. I want to try to get a copy of this film. It is so worth
watching. I read another persons comment that it had no plot, I don't
know how the plot line can be missed, unless the viewer only has eyes
for the formulaic and predictable.

A man in the record business has a meeting in 15 minutes and decides to
get
his hair cut before he goes. The barbershop does more than just give
haircuts. They serve wine, and shine shoes, and make you feel like a
king.
I can't really say much more because there really isn't anything left to
say. There is NO plot in this movie. It makes no real sense... and it
tries to be funny, but is not very sucessful. There is nothing special or
fun about it and it just isn't worth watching. The only good thing about
it
is that it is short. The Bangles are in it for a few second cameo.
