As in Filmabuse (ca. 1975), the film strip in JoAnn Elam’s Disabuse looks as if it were partially consumed by colorful flames, until the screen turns almost completely black, with a few specks of color here and there. Filmabuse ends with the image of a woman staring straight into the camera, yet Disabuse simply goes to black.

As in Filmabuse (ca. 1975), the film strip in JoAnn Elam's Disabuse looks as if it were partially consumed by colorful flames, until the screen turns almost completely black, with a few specks of color here and there. Filmabuse ends with the image of a woman staring straight into the camera, yet Disabuse simply goes to black.
