Description

Pearlstein writes: "Beginning with a Cindy Sherman-esque scene of a battered woman, the suggested narrative quickly implodes to expose a series of psychological states being 'acted out.' The mood moves through aggression to desire to frustration to a catharsis, which creates a structural shift. The final sequence loosely uses references from 'The Wizard of Oz' to end the trip."
