A female porn director hits the big time in before getting mixed up in an off-romance in this naughty and fun effort from director Desiree Lim. Naomi may make good money directing lesbian porn, but between the heat she catches from her bosses who claim that her work is "too gay," and the friends who think she sold out, the only solace she has is a chat-room soul-mate named Sugar. When the opportunity to direct a well-known matchmaking show in a groundbreaking girl-meets-girl series arises, Naomi quickly casts amiable but lovelorn friend Azusa and shoot-from-the-hip businesswoman-turned-exotic dancer Miki in the show. As the scripted television romance spills offscreen and into reality, Naomi finds that her newfound lucky streak may have gotten her in over her head. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

A very strange dream about a wealthy man preparing for death inspired director Daryush Shokof to make this off-beat and highly esoteric art film. Archie (Anthony Quinn) receives inner peace by being touched by people of four different racial groups. The film shows the five of them conducting daily activities as Quinn endures having their fingers in his nose and ears constantly for 10 days. Archie invites two old friends of his to be present at his death and reveals his secret for inner peace to them. The man goes off in a huff, but the woman stays around and finds her own enjoyment in the situation. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
