With respect, the remarks about "bring your Barf Bag" are utterly inaccurate with regard to "Pull My Daisy" and do the film a disservice. Frank, especially the later work, is difficult and may not be worth the struggle for some, but this film is accessible, though perhaps a little loose and wacky. I saw it as part of a Frank film festival in Portland, OR over 20 years ago, so my comments are based in old (but I believe pretty accurate) memories.
