A man buys a television set in Marvin Starkman’s short black-and-white film. Photographed by John Cazale during an overnight shoot in actor Michael Lombard’s apartment, The Box turns a simple domestic purchase into the basis for a compact 16mm study of object, space, and routine.
A comedy short which pokes merry anarchistic fun at such quintessential American institutions as mom, baseball, and apple pie. It features an early appearance from actor John Cazale.
