The Fall of the House of Yasmin

1990, 52:45 min, color, sound

Created with his students at the San Francisco Art Institute, this tape marks a departure from Kuchar's diaries in its use of post-production technology, but retains their irreverent humor and improvisational feel. A camp send-up of Gothic literature and television soap opera, The Fall of the House of Yasmin glances hilariously at sex, drugs and popular music.
