Incontinence: a diarrhetic flow of obvious mismatches

Experimental film dealing with film editing and the visual image. Contains seven individual sequences of mismatching dialogue/actors/scenes with all scenes based on actual dialogue from “Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?”. However, a comic nightmare takes place and a healthy disregard for the text creates quite a bizarre interpretation of this well-known piece of literature. Cast includes Dina Paisner, Ken Burns, Patrick Gerstle, Susan Schneider and others.
