Insignificance 1985 Criterion Collection
Adapted from a famous play of the same name written by Terry Johnson, the plot revolves around four nameless individuals credited only as the Professor (Michael Emil), the Actress (Theresa Russell), the Ballplayer (Gary Busey), and the Senator (Tony Curtis). Though not specifically identified, each character is meant to serve as a stand in for the likes of Albert Einstein, Marilyn Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and Joseph McCarthy. In classic stage play fashion, these varied personalities end up interacting with one another over the course of one night in a single hotel room.

As a weird meditation on sex, power, knowledge, and fame, this is a treat for those who savor exotic movie fare.
