In Room in New York, 1932, it is night; a man reads a paper at a round table, a woman turns away in her own absorption and boredom, touching the piano keyboard with one finger. They are out of synch, and their distance from each other is figured in the simple act of a woman with a shadowed face sounding a note (or perhaps only thinking about sounding it) to which there will be no response...

Her camera follows like the eye to show the smallest, most unusual details, from the Jane's tacky jewelry to the plush red shag carpet. Her actors are not merely "m e t h o d" they are just plain bad. But it doesn't matter, you're too busy scoffing, guffawing and trying...
