Overall

Shot on 16mm, the story follows the misadventures of disaffected house-wife "Cozy", played by Lisa Bowman, and the aimless layabout "Lee", played by Larry Fessenden, who also acted as the film's editor and one of the associate producers. Described by Reichardt as "a road movie without the road, a love story without the love, and a crime story without the crime," the film illustrates the discrepancy between romanticized cinematic portrayals and the banality of real life, marking the emergence of a distinctive new voice in American independent cinema.
