...a 47-minute color and black-and-white work of such propulsive energy and intensity that viewing it is almost an exhausting experience. Starting with footage of various rock bands in concert, including the Velvet Underground and the Grateful Dead, the film superimposes as many as 10 layers of images simultaneously to engulf the viewer in a cornucopia of sight and sound, all leading up to a climatic orgy during a summer picnic at a party in the Bay area countryside. As the couples engage in sexual unions, Van Meter hand drips blobs of colored paint directly on the film, as if to suggest the intensity of the energy that is being released by his performers. As the film ends, we see family units in the nude, swimming, playing Frisbee, relaxing, and walking in the tall grass.
