Let's discuss this strange and singular relationship drama, often cited as the film that kicked off a new wave of independent filmmaking in the 1990s.

While dated in many ways, in others it feels strikingly modern and relevant. It raises philosophical questions about human relationships and technology: is the camera lens a barrier to connection, or a bridge? Does it inhibit intimacy, or can it foster or deepen it?
