Notes
I had a hard time grasping this mystifying film. It seems to be a documentary of a filmakers process of "recreating" scenes cut and destroyed from the original 1980 film "Cruising" with Al Pacino. Some suggest it is an exploration of sexual and creative freedom. I came away puzzled at the effort, as apparently did many of the cast and creative team.
