Title: "Dancer from the Dance"
Review: The performances of Leigh and Coyote in this relatively obscure film are flawless and perfectly in synch with one another. Each plays off the other in such precision that the result is a hypnotic dance which begs the proverbial question, "how can you tell the dancer from the dance." The subject matter for most viewers is not literal enough to draw them in. But for those viewers interested in the mechanics of dreams and psychosis, the dark metaphors veiled by the surface plot ironically reveal a sentience very much like what Poe describes in "The Fall of the House of User." Even if the central "meaning" escapes you, the final scene is worth experiencing. The dance between the two main characters, played by Leigh and Coyote, is classic. If you're looking for "meaning," you'll find it in the expression on Leigh's face as Coyote whispers in her ear while the music plays on. I was so impressed by the performances of Leigh and Coyote that I dedicated my first novel to them.
