The Primal Scene is recorded 2010 in Los Angeles with the exception of one scene recorded in Copenhagen fall 2011. It's hard to resume what the film is about, which is a good reason to see it... But this much I can tell you. There are several scenes with Arthur Janov, the man who invented Primal Therapy and there is a great scene with author Chris Kraus talking about art and economy and the artist Raul Baltazar makes a Chris Burden re-enactment in a shopping ally in Mc Arthur Park, there is almost an entire performance by Oscar Santos among many other things...
