Experienced Movers

Dir Larry Fessenden (1985 144 mins, color, video)

Trapped in a seedy post industrial town of Boraxville USA, and spurned by his yuppie girlfriend, inventor Sydney Ling tries to solicit the good graces of Jack Sandler, her ex-con father. Instead he is enlisted as fall-guy in Sandler’s plot to steal a Hogarth and a Goya from the New French Art Museum. Based on the neo-Brechtian play by Evan McHale and brought to the screen with the frenetic camera style and editing rythms of director Larry Fessenden, EXPERIENCED MOVERS is a revenge tragedy of operatic proportions and guerilla filmmaking at its most audacious.


“Anyone concerned with the construction of meaning in a world
choking on a vomit of regurgitated images should see this
curiously flawed work of art.”
David Polonoff, DOWNTOWN, April 1986
