Confessor (1974)

Confessor, a city-dweller who has “bugged” several telephone lines, hears the stories of: a woman who wishes for a white knight but realizes the man is sterile upon his arrival; a woman living with a mannequin that takes the place of a husband; and females who attend parties in the nude. A proxy for the Vietnam War is staged in a supermarket, and the Confessor, or one of the subjects he has surreptitiously monitored, dies amid an assault of mass media imagery. "...an American underground effort by Edward Bergman and Alan Soffin shown in the Film Market. Despite some portentous attempts at structure, this is closer to a collection of shorts than a feature, and often amateurish shorts at that, pivoted around the general theme of media overload (another version of Future Shock?)" - Jonathan Rosenbaum
