Screen Test #1

66 mins | June 12, 1965

Ronald Tavel taunts Philip Fagan, who lacks the verbal dexterity to counter the clever spider’s web of words that Ronald Tavel weaves to ensnare him, so that Fagan’s only response is to refuse to respond and stare silently off-screen, turning the screen test into a strange form of psychodrama.
