Paper Roses

1971 · ⭐ 0 · Votes: 0
Facing retirement elderly journalist Clarence Hubbard reflects on the pointlessness of a life wasted writing banal tabloid human interest animal and crime stories. Rather than go quietly to tend roses in a garden Hubbard begins a series of violent actions not unlike those described in tabloids and this is heightened by inter cutting tabloid headlines between scenes. Throughout there are occasional shots of a television critic who watches this very play as it unfolds and he writes a negative review filled with cleverly phrased but bitter invective.
