it's quite as though this film never really got down to being made and instead was cobbled together from disparate materials, the subject of the movie is the iron willed actress refusing the meek, submissive filmmaker, and this is about all it amounts to. boring. and it seems only to portray Ms Dietrich as one very enthusiastic to contradict, which is a common enough trait of artists, 'not at all!' 'on the contrary...' etc.
the film isn't without interest, and aside from the fact that no camera is trained on her, what's interesting I suppose about this movie is its grey gardens quality...there is a certain unbridledness. aside from this an interesting aspect is the inclusion of bits of film and sound that would in he course of normal editing undoubtedly wind up on the floor, which is a nice choice to make.
