Raw Nerves Soundtrack (1980)

Synopsis

A noir set mainly in a bathroom and a staircase. A private big dick caught in a bind. A narrator looking for a way out of the story. Boudoir humor and pulp fiction captured in colors like you've never seen them before. (Steven Rodríguez) This film was an attempt to give cinematographic expression to some of the ideas developed in Deleuze and Guattari's Anti-Oedipus. In particular, it is the gangster version of the Oedipus complex, with a Private I fim-noir playing the role of conscious subject. His introduction to the law of language does not take place in the cozy world of Daddy-Mommy-Me, but in a public bathroom where the signifier is defined as "the final scribble of a man who had taken the last shit on him in this world". Formally, 'Raw Nerves' makes heavy use of colored lighting, projected light patterns and the continuum of optical effects to create a new variation on the look of German expressionist films.
