    In “Flamingo” an old lady tells the filmmaker about her life as they ride a Las Vegas bus: her arrival in the city in 1960, her career as a casino cashier and her recent personal tragedies. Her story is retold over Kodachrome Super 8 images of neon signs along the Las Vegas strip.

This filmmaker decides to be tackled repeatedly in order to “shock” their body into feeling.
