Majestica: The Big Phone

A splashy experimental feature in which a dozen characters (both living and dead) create the film they are in. Using symbolism, color and musical cues (but no dialogue) the movie only hints at the actions behind each striking image. The film moves back and forth between present, past and future and there are twelve characters. It is almost like doing a puzzle—frustrating until things fall together. There is a gay aspect to the film as one of the characters flashes back to a gay love affair he was once involved with in Mexico and there is a great deal of male skin as well.

Heavy Traffic

A white dropout struggles to become a cartoonist and filmmaker, drawing inspiration from the harsh, gritty world around him. Still sharing his rundown apartment with his middle-aged parents, an oafish slob of an Italian father and a ditzy nutcase of a Jewish mother, he's ridiculed and looked down upon by his friends, hypocrites who run with violent gangs and the Italian Mafia, and a shallow Black girl who makes her living downtown with the pimps and pushers. The cartoonist gets a chance to pitch a film idea to a movie mogul, but the story proves too outrageous: a far-future Earth, depleted by war and pollution, where a mutant antihero challenges and kills God.
