Unhappy with her career and her marriage, Lisa yearns for a powerful disruption of her tightly-controlled life. She turns to the friendship of an older man, a theater director who proclaims a seductive political nihilism. Inspired, Lisa starts testing the limits of her will and her desires. She explores pornography, forces herself to go for days without sleep, and engages in escalating acts of everyday rebellion. As her husband and friends fall away, Lisa takes decisive action to
transform her life. Isolating herself from society, she risks
everything to fulfill her desire for final release.

"One of the most underrated independent films of the '90s... The lead performance by Jennifer Van Dyck is hypnotic and devastatingly real and would have earned an Oscar nomination had the film been backed by the kind of money that usually supports such contenders."
- Wade Major, Boxoffice Magazine

"Lusciously sensual... strikes a hypnotic mood full of longing and surges of eroticism"
- Lynden Barber, The Australian

Cast: Samara Golden

“An extremely unsettling vision of private terrors by filmmaking collaborators Reynold Reynolds, Patrick Jolley and Samara Golden. Plays like a fever nightmare of any New Yorker who's lived in a one-room living box. Pic is a triumph of lower-than-low budget filmmaking, with mainly one thesp (Golden in an outrageously demanding performance that indicates a commitment above and beyond the call of duty), one extremely messy room (with a spooky thick-glass window looking out onto a crowded Manhattan street) and a complex visual and aural design involving camerawork that appears to crawl under the skin and Bruce Odland's and Sam Auinger's stunning sound design.” --Variety

A championship wrestling match pits Koji Taguchi against Crush Volcano, the latter no match for Koji’s signature move, the Torture Ring Strangler. Koji beams as he clutches the Champion Belt, only to have it snatched away by a mysterious new challenger in the ring—a giant squid! A giant squid, in fact, who not only evades Koji’s key attack, but destroys him with a Northern Light Suplex! Koji’s fiancée Miyako watches tearfully, though there’s something about this Calamari Wrestler that seems familiar to her…

The tentacled tackler is the hottest story in the Japanese sports press. The president of the Cho-Nippon wrestling team proposes a fixed match as a publicity stunt, but the honourable Calamari Wrestler will hear nothing of it. Wrongfully banned from the sport, he retreats to the Monhonji Temple to train and meditate, where a young reporter tracks him down and begins to unravel his enigma. But the squid’s problems are just beginning—treacherous businessmen, unrequited love and the wrestling-ring menace of the Octopus Wrestler and the insectoid Squilla Boxer await!
