The Soul of Saturday Night

A long, drunken night in San Diego is filmed and danced with inventiveness and flair by choreographer John Malashock and director John Menier. Two couples, the "in love" Karen Ivy and Troy Sellers, and the combative and violent Michael Mizerany and Keturah Stickann, share an evening of sexual ups and downs and longings and lustiness.

With songs by Tom Waits and many familiar San Diego locales, this dance film will prove to be one of my favorites. Already garnering many awards, including Emmys for Outstanding Visual Arts Program, and a much deserved Emmy award nomination for Mizerany, this is an artistic feather-in-the-cap for Malashock and Menier.
