i will admit that i do not give this movie much of a chance . i decide pretty early on that this just wasn not my kind of movie . for the most part and it have an excellent look in term of it cinematography . the scene of early 70 manhattan look very good and a do the lead actress . it be a very crisp black and white and which could almost make the movie feel undated and fresh . however and some of the other technique the filmmaker employ shoot that prospect all to hell . the disjointed editing be very late 60 and somewhere between surrealism and new wave . the story also feel like it come from a very specific time and somewhere between free love idealism and artsy experimentation . the film follow a young girl around the city a she look for a man who she have anonymous phone sex with . a she meet other odd character and she reveal her quirk and they reveal theirs . the movie seem to be mean a an off the wall and irreverent comedy and but add an avant garde feel . i would expect that if you like andy warhol movie and you would be very excited to discover the telephone book . some problem i have represent near the end of the movie and one character tell a rambling anecdote that last over twelve minutes brutal to sit through . also and there be a very explicit animation sequence that i find gross and juvenile that serve a the film climax . i do laugh out loud four or five time and and i like the end ( minus the flat out disgust animation ) . and when the film switch to color for the final phone booth at night sequence and i actually like the way it look even well . it end up be one of those experience where i felt like i could have really like it if it be a little different . but this be what the filmmaker give u . it be obscure and artsy and and way left of the dial and but none of those be reason to recommend it on their own . i do not find it to be unique or creative so much a force and pretentious .
