Heretic

HERETIC, or The Genius Preview, is composed from outtakes from the 1992 Joe Gibbons/Emily Breer feature THE GENIUS, and stars Gibbons, Karen Finley, Adolphus Mekas, Henry Hills, Mark McElhatten, Tony Oursler, Keith Sanborn, and Jennifer Montgomery, with original music by Naked City ("HERETIC, the original movie soundtrack," available on AVANT Records, disk UNION R-250225), original titles, some rephotography off the original videos, and original narration performed by Frank Snider. A study of editing and its relation to the mechanics of the brain, HERETIC initially poses as a preview to the Gibbons film which it then deconstructs and reforms into a satire on psychotherapy.
