Okay, they all gave it -- quite literally -- the old-fashioned college try. Nothing Really Happens is high on concept. Tillie, A Bella-Abzug-type 70-something fiction author who recently had won the Nobel Peace Prize is being interviewed by a young reporter who finds her very frustrating. It turns out that she's taking a night class with a Professor on the psychology of aging strippers. The reporter, a typically left-wing wise guy follows her to an interview with an aging stripper who has seen it all. He is very voyeuristic, disrespectful, and misogynistic as all men typically are at such liberal film festivals. Despite his annoying tone, Tillie eventually gets the aging stripper to open up and share her story. The visuals of this cinema verite rate a zero. It's a filmed stage play. Aside from the cliched journalist, the rest of the writing and acting is surprisingly strong. There is also a very good New York feel to the lines of dialog. So, if you are looking for a new experimental film experience, you could do worse.
