Inserts (1975)

Once a visionary of the silent film era, a director finds himself lost in the tide of the emerging talkies. Isolated in his Hollywood sanctuary, he descends into the underbelly of filmmaking, producing low-budget, silent erotica. Haunted by his personal demons of sexual impotence and the looming threat of his home's demolition for a highway project, he finds solace in his craft. In this shadowy world, his producer and the producer's girlfriend unexpectedly visit, their motives far from innocent. The actress they bring along is paid in heroin, a grim testament to the industry's darker side. Intrigued, the girlfriend remains, captivated by the director's unconventional yet effective methods. A sudden turn of events sees the actress succumbing to a fatal overdose in the bathroom, leaving a void in the production. Seizing the opportunity, the girlfriend steps into the spotlight, taking on the departed actress's role. Soon, the producer returns, marking the beginning of a new chapter in this gritty tale. The saga of the once-great director continues, his life a silent film unfolding in the midst of Hollywood's roaring transition.
