This rarely seen independent cult classic screens as part of the excellent ICA Cinematheque: Eye on I season. You can find the full details here.
Chicago Reader review:
Bette Gordon's independent feature is a little
overambitiously formal at times, drawing in references to Chantal
Akerman and Jean-Luc Godard, but it works very well as a hauntingly
subjective character study. A young woman takes a job as a cashier in a
Manhattan porno theater; the sounds emanating from inside seem slowly to
seduce her, and she focuses her fantasies on one of the regular
customers—a mysterious older man who appears to have crime-syndicate
connections. Gordon is not gifted with dialogue, but the film's long
silent sequences spin an enveloping otherworldly atmosphere.
