...which I'm an absolute expert." Some moviegoers will see the film as life made into art, the rarefied atmosphere of Manhattan high life bottled, aged and served with a chill. Others will wonder if the movie isn't an elaborate mechanism of self-abuse, a Rube Goldberg dildo, a film about a dead end that is a dead end for this prolific, personal film maker.

As a kid, he played street hockey every day in sub-freezing weather, using the curbs for boards and garbage cans or a Rube Goldberg wooden contraption for a net; made his parents wake up at four in the morning to shuttle him to some dingy arena when ice time is cheaper and the Pee Wee team can practice; stared transfixed as Bobby Orr led the Bruins to glory...
