Rapist (Yaphet Kotto) exacerbates the marital problems of a middle-aged couple (Andrew Duggan, Joyce Van Patten) with bizarre results.  Written, produced, and directed by Cohen a couple of years before he served the same roles for his more famous horror film It's Alive.  This one is a low-budget absurdist comedy rooted in the cultural upheaval of the late sixties/early seventies, with Cohen taking shots at the middle class, racial equality, and consumerism, among other things.  Comes off as almost hypnotically bad until you realize how funny it is.  Cohen's first film as director.
