"LAID BARE: Dispassionately itemizes the fundamental depths of sexual superficiality, selfishness and genital dyspepsia to redefine all previous reports of the destructive compulsions that devour ambitious celebrities. This is a graphic vision of Hollywood-a dark - new existentialism full of grossly compelling characters whose self respect, sincerity and sense of identity are as thin as the slime that seems to cover their every activity," ~~ Genesis P-Orridge (Throbbing Gristle / Psychic TV)
