God bless our humble upper-middle-class high-rise co-op and keep it free from smut peddlers, militants, urban guerrillas and Greenwich Village liberals.

Vietnam vet Jon Rubin returns to New York and rents a rundown flat in Greenwich Village. It is in this flat that he begins to film, 'Peeping Tom' style, the people in the apartment across the street. His obsession with making films leads him to fall in with a radical 'Black Power' group, which in turn leads him to carry out a bizarre act of urban terrorism.

VIBE

This film feels like a raw, unsettling descent into urban paranoia and radical fringe culture. Its gritty aesthetic and voyeuristic lens create a palpable sense of unease, punctuated by dark, jarring humor.
