What happens
Coming Apart is a 1969 American found footage psychological drama film written and directed by Milton Moses Ginsberg, and starring Rip Torn, Sally Kirkland, and Viveca Lindfors. The film follows a mentally disturbed psychiatrist (Torn) who surreptitiously films his encounters with women in a secretly rented apartment. The film was shot using one static camera setup, in a manner simulating a non-constructed "fake documentary" style, influenced by Jim McBride's David Holzman's Diary (1967). The film was rated X for its sexually explicit scenes. In its original cut, the film featured the music of Jefferson Airplane. However, due to rights issues, the film was re-scored by Ginsberg and Francis Xavier for its home media releases. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
