CHAFED ELBOWS

Directed by Robert Downey Sr.
United States, 1966
Comedy, Avant-Garde

Synopsis

This riot of bad taste was a breakthrough for Downey, thanks to rave notices. Visualized largely in still 35 mm photographs, it follows a shiftless downtown Manhattanite having his “annual November breakdown” as he wanders from one odd job to the next, coming across all sorts of sordid types.
