<i>Black Coffee</i> begins and plays under much of the first few | |||
minutes and in the rest of the show. | |||
0:30: Joe was feeling bad, worried about his heart, went to see Dr | |||
Hess ([[Tim Jerome]]? <ref>I take my cue from the German-ish accent</ref>) Dr Hess puts his stethoscope on Joe's chest, | |||
has a heart attack himself; an ambulance takes him to the ED. Dr Hess | |||
ends up in the ICU, his nurse under sedation. | |||
2:10: Joe goes home; someone else is there; he disputes Joe's | |||
ownership, slams the door on him. | |||
3:20: A parody Indian guru says death begins as a misunderstanding. | |||
4:30: Joe interviews Dick ([[Arthur Miller]]) & Jane ([[Irene Wagner]]? [[Avery Hart]]?), | |||
a couple who make 'Love' movies (don't | |||
call it porn!) They air 3 minutes of their latest, <i>The moving | |||
instant</i>; we hear sounds of passion, a melodramatic Muzak-y version | |||
of <i>Moon River</i>. | |||
8:40: Joe opens the flap of Gindu's (sp?) tent, says he's in Nirvana, | |||
'the nexus where love meets death'. A guy pounds stakes into the | |||
ground, he can hear wild animals. Joe goes to the beach where clowns | |||
are doing flips. An explosion blows the clowns up. | |||
10: We're back in the 'love' movie: sounds of passion. Dick & Jane | |||
lament they don't have enough time. | |||
11:10: Joe says it seems like an ordinary pornographic film. They | |||
explain why it's better. | |||
12:40: Joe's in the YMCA on East 14th Street. It's 2 AM; Joe can't | |||
sleep: the straw in his mattress needs changing. Joe asks what our | |||
nature is, cites Steinfeld's 'Theory of chaos', page 54. Then a | |||
fellow with a German-ish accent ([[Tim Jerome]]?) talks philosophical | |||
nonsense. | |||
13:50: <i>Sentimental Walk</i><ref>(Vladimir Cosma) from the | |||
soundtrack of <i>Diva</i>; Cosma cribbed this music from Satie's | |||
<i>Trois Gnossiennes</i>.</ref> | |||
14:10: A woman tells about being with her best friend at the grocery | |||
store. A fellow and his wife invite them to dinner at their house. | |||
<ref>They end up having an orgy, I think.</ref> | |||
18:30: Joe's on the crowded Bosnian express (a train). Workmen play | |||
cards; a drunk at the bar tells everybody that they're stupid. A | |||
passenger ([[Arthur Miller]]) buys and sells animals. The conductor | |||
comes in, asking for passports; Joe doesn't have his but the conductor | |||
passes him by. Joe remembers his summers in Bosnia. A boatman, | |||
offering Joe a ride across the river, can't start its engine. | |||
23:40: Joe has a dream: his body has been split down the middle; a | |||
doctor with forceps pulls out pieces of bone and pottery. | |||
24:30: The parody Indian guru is back, talking about how great | |||
Nirvana is (they leave a mint on your pillow!) | |||
25:40: A man ([[Tim Jerome]], his Spanish/French accent) complains to | |||
a woman. He's responsible for burying the clowns, lacks what he needs | |||
to do the job. | |||
26:40: Joe awaits Dick & Jane, who have promised him a part in their | |||
next movie. Someone left a baby by the water. Joe says he's been | |||
dreaming all his life, that this is the end of his dream. | |||
27:20: <i>The dawn</i> (DJ Food) | |||

Joe's doctor dies, and he finds someone living in his apartment. Voice-over radio plays: an exaggerated Indian accent describes souls who don't know they are dead. An interview with "Love Film" actors. A circus by the sea explodes. Joe can't sleep at the YMCA, emotion is a sign of decadence. Steinfeld's theory of Chaos. A woman describes an encounter with a couple and a girlfriend. Joe is in a bar on a train in the countryside, the conductor questions people (the "Is your business of a personal nature or is it commercial? . . . I buy and sell animals..." dialog), Joe remembers the country side and tries to cross a river. A doctor removes fragments of bone from Joe's body. Indian voice talks about nirvana as a resort hotel. A couple fights at the circus funeral. | Joe's doctor dies, and he finds someone living in his apartment.
