Confessor

6:00 pm

Confessor is a compelling expression of what that moment believed possible. In the film, social themes and artistic styles are thoroughly intertwined—women’s liberation, race relations, Vietnam, popular culture, and the sexual revolution. It is funny, tragic, occasionally shocking, and completely avant-garde. (Warning: This film contains nudity*)
