If you are expecting the usual Hollywood pulp then forget this one. Much more in the style of Fellini or other abstract/surrealistic European directors. It is ostensibly a day in the life of a couple in New York. But is it? There are two primary characters who speak their innermost thoughts. Be warned, this is very graphic at times. This is overlaid with the banal chatter from the other people we encounter through the day. But is it actually one woman's thoughts and is the man in her imagination? Or is it the man's thoughts and fantasies? An intriguing movie that operates at a different level of consciousness than usual. Based on a stage play, which shows. It would have been even more gripping as a play. Acting and direction are all superb. Stay with it, it is worth it. It will haunt you for days after.
