Idealistic young set designer Tod Hackett (William Atherton) travels to 1930s-era Hollywood to find fame and fortune but encounters a dismal world of broken people, shattered dreams, and phoney healers pandering to the lost. He soon falls in love with aspiring actress Faye Greener (Karen Black), a cruel, manipulative woman who lives with her drunken father (Burgess Meredith) and loves the strange man-child Homer Simpson (Donald Sutherland). (official distributor synopsis)

The third star is for the carnage at the end, but otherwise, I don’t know what this film was about. And I didn’t know it while I watched it. Probably the film itself doesn’t know. Nobody knows anything, very few have an idea…
