The Central Character -- Film Description:
"A woman's attempt to keep chaos at bay by naming, classifying, and ordering her domestic environment. This ultimately results in a total loss of ego and verbal capacity. Through the innovative juxtaposition of printed text, graphics, step printing, and disintegrating soundtrack, [Patricia] Gruben constructs a narrative breakdown that parallels the unconscious patterning of her character's mind."
-- Richard Stanford
