| Film In Focus from Fort Lauderdale: Tied to a chair |
From iconoclastic American indie director Michael Berggmann comes this sexy political thriller starring Mario Van Peebles and Bonnie Loren.

Seeming to be a failure as a housewife, Naomi sets off to reclaim the acting career she gave up “for him” twenty-five years ago.
In France at a film festival, she meets film director Billy Rust and falls in love with…his script, particularly with the sequence in which the girl gets tied to a chair. Alas, the part calls for a “name or a much younger woman” but Naomi perseveres and extracts a promise of a screen test in New York.
