The Telephone Book
This is the listing for the standard edition Blu-ray/DVD Combo. The limited edition embossed slipcover (designed by Derek Gabryszak) was limited to 2,000 units and is sold out. The two versions are identical, aside from the slipcover.
A major, though forgotten, work from New York's underground film scene of the late 60s and early 70s. Nelson Lyon's, The Telephone Book, tells the story of Alice, a sex-obsessed hippie who falls in love with the world's greatest obscene phone caller and embarks on a quest to find him. Her journey introduces her to an avant-garde stag filmmaker, a manipulative psychiatrist, a lesbian housewife, and more. Photographed in high-contrast black-and-white, and punctuated with a remarkable, surreal color animated sequence, The Telephone Book is one of the greatest cult films you've probably never heard of.
directed: Nelson Lyon
starring: Barry Morse, Norman Rose, Ondine, Roger C. Carmel, William Hickey, Geri Miller, Jill Clayburgh, Sarah Kennedy, Ultra Violet
