Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
In life, Roy was a book editor. In death, he is a muse to his friends, who have gathered to peruse the myriad notebooks he left behind, filled with thoughts, recollections of events in his daily life, and imaginary situations. Each friend is in some way connected to the publishing business. One of the friends, Carl, is a writer: one of the characters he made up has come to life and is duplicating the thoughts of others in a disturbing way. Reviewers found the situations (and endless talk) in this experimental-style film uninteresting and derivative.
