Central Bazaar
Stephen Dwoskin, 1976, 142 min

For this remarkable experimental film, the provocative avant-garde legend Stephen Dwoskin gathered a group of strangers and filmed them as they explored their fantasies over a period of five days. The ceremonial gowns and make-up here not only evoke the eroticism of European horror movies but also highlight the film’s interplay between performance and intimacy.
