Did you know
• The "screenplay" for this film famously consisted of one mass, visually daunting flow-chart of ideas circled and connected to each other (in the center of this mass of ideas was written "New Year's Day (Time to Move On)". Typical to Jaglom's style, the actors improvised all the dialogue.
• To Jaglom's surprise, this film was the official American selection at the Venice Film Festival in 1990, and this was the basis of Jaglom's film Venice/Venice. Jaglom went to film that movie in Venice while there to promote this film.
• David Duchovny and Maggie (Jakobson) Wheeler were boyfriend/girlfriend in real life as well as in this movie. Also like her character, Wheeler had done voices for cartoons.

An interesting, if slightly meandering film.
