Quotes
Truck-driver: You see, this is what matters. Move your hand. Slowly. Not so fast. Up and down. Slowly at first, then a little faster. I can feel it. It's getting warm. It's getting harder. It's filling up. Now the heat comes - inside and out. Slowly. It's gonna get real big and burst its skin. You obey, but you're afraid. You think it's wrong. Stroke it faster. Faster. Keep going. You can feel it coming. Go on. Go on. Slowly. That's right, up and down.
[Groans]
Truck-driver: It came in little waves. I'm gonna put my head on the steering wheel.

Another Minimalist Masterpiece?

Chantal Akerman tries to live in a bare studio apartment, but finds that she cannot sleep well with the mattress leaning against the window. She tries her hand at writing something. She eats pudding out of a paper bag. Then I deleted the movie.
