Part of EMOTIONAL TIME: The Films of Henry Jaglom

Filmed in a loosely-scripted, quasi-documentary style, Henry Jaglom’s 1987 film is a meandering study of generational loneliness highlighted by musical numbers and intimate direct-to-camera confessionals that increasingly blur the line between reality and fiction. Set in an abandoned old theatre set to be demolished and transformed into a shopping mall, Jaglom plays Danny, a filmmaker, who throws a Valentines Day party to discover why he and his friends are middle-aged and alone. Starring cabaret singer Andrea Marcovicci (Jaglom's then-girlfriend), Oja Kodar, Sally Kellerman, Michael Emil, and the legendary Orson Welles, in his very last screen role.
