Comment l'Amérique est-elle passée d'Easy Rider à Donald Trump? Que sont devenus les rêves et les utopies des années 1960 et 1970? Qu'en pensent, aujourd'hui, ceux qui ont vécu cet âge d'or? Ont-ils vraiment tout foutu en l'air? Tourné en Cinémascope, du New Jersey à la Californie, ce road-movie mélancolique et élégiaque dresse le portrait d'une Amérique déboussolée, complexe et chauffée à blanc par une année de campagne électorale. Inconsolable d'un âge d'or devenu sa dernière frontière romantique, elle s'apprête pourtant à appuyer sur la gâchette Trump.

A sequel to BRANDY IN THE WILDERNESS and a savage excoriation of the AFI and George Stevens Jr. A better title might have been HE WANTS PAYBACK, as Kaye's architect alter ego in the story lands a prestigious assignment to build a monument to the American Indian on the Capitol Mall, only to have the project sabotaged by forces beyond his control. The film is no veiled indictment of AFI, but a naked assault on the institute and its head.

The Amazing Bow Wow tells the tragic tale of a hermaphroditic dog, reduced to performing as a tent-show freak. Problems begin when Bow Wow's owners, small-time carnival impresarios Babu (Stanton Kaye) and Rexina (Lynda Benglis), discover that their dog can not only talk, but is also highly intelligent. Its extraordinary abilities provoke fear and jealousy in Babu, and, conversely, affection and protectiveness in Rexina. As Bow Wow's relationship with Rexina becomes sexually charged, Babu attempts to castrate the animal, but in a terrible twist of fate mistakenly cuts off its tongue. (Electronic Arts Intermix)
