Interestingly, Pedro’s work is far more fascinating than the actual movie. Jose and his friends do drugs, make films, do more drugs, and watch Pedro’s disjointed, experimental work.
SOME JERK WITH A CAMERA PHANTASMIC MOVIE
But I do understand that the men in this movie are uncircumcised.

Pedro and Jose have some sexual tension and there’s a scene where they hang out in bed and play with goop. Julie would wake up in the middle of night to see her roommate sitting in a chair and staring at her. True story: My friend had a college roommate who’d watch her while she was sleeping.
SOME JERK WITH A CAMERA PHANTASMIC TV
He has a doll with light-up eyes that makes the TV go on the fritz. There’s a disheveled, tortured young filmmaker named Pedro who cries anxiously when people watch his films. The film continues in flashbacks and present day, where Jose and a woman named Marta go out to her aunt’s country house and snort coke that was squirrelled away behind old picture frames. Narration is at best, a tool that pushes the plot and develops character, and at worst, it is a lazy convention that is endlessly grating. There’s a gravelly loud whisper that goes on to narrate the entire movie. He watches the film and listens to the cassette that was mailed to him. She does not wake up during this process. At some point Jose strips the girl naked because he’s cold and wants her robe. So he shoots some smack, and like every movie that features smack, there’s a close-up of a syringe going into an arm. Jose comes home to find a woman in his bed and he’s pissed about it. This scene is followed by the sound of me sighing. As an audience, we are supposed to understand that this scene-and this movie-is an ode to the cinema. Jose drives through the streets of Madrid, looking at different theater marquees and billboards: Superman, Phantasm, Oliver’s Story, The Deer Hunter, Bambi. It is film studies circle jerk session, ham-fisted and bloated with pretension and self-importance. They discuss how the actress is looking directly into the camera, a clue that tells the audience she is “enjoying being a vampire.” They discuss where they want the fade out to start and what it means. Meanwhile two filmmakers work on a scene where a buxom vampire emerges from a coffin. The hands packs up a key, a canister of film, and a cassette and mails it to a man named Jose. All you decrepit old farts out there will know about this. So this leads me to my next question: Will this movie make the move?Ī pair of hands edit film the old-fashioned way, back when you glued strips together. Some shit just isn’t going to make the move. Think of it this way: Earth is a giant house with plenty of closet space and heaven is an overpriced tiny studio in the East Village. Heaven has no space for the nonessential. Not everyone gets to go, so the lord will have to make some hard choices. During the Rapture, some will be left behind and others will be swept up to meet the lord.
