Action
1980, English. Directed by Tinto Brass.
Z-movie actor Bruno Martel has hero syndrome, often quarrelling with directors. He meets fellow actor Doris, who is obsessed with Ophelia but cannot get any Shakespearean bookings. One day, during a nervous breakdown, Bruno 'rescues' Doris from the set, leaving town to encounter various absurd situations.
