“A ‘narrative’ film centered on young artists living in New York City around 1979. The film is about a certain stage in the development of a young artist confronting the real world in terms of her own idealistic notions of what art is supposed to do. You never see her. She is the camera’s eye and when someone says to the camera ‘My darling be careful’, it could be addressing her or you the spectator. The subjective camera set-up challenges the spectator’s position as an impartial observer.” (B. M., 1980)
