“Polly Perverse Strikes Again! (A Love Story With Sociopathic Tendencies).” EZTV. $39.95. This slow-motion subterranean soap opera makes Andy Warhol’s ‘60s studies in ennui look like “A Hard Day’s Night.” The acting ranges from stiff to spaced-out to somnolent, the sound hisses and feeds back, writer-director Dan Sallitt (former film critic for the L.A. Reader) sets up nice shots of the backs of actors’ heads, and the love-triangle plot limps slowly along. At the center of it all is Dawn Wildsmith in the title role, an unappealing, lowlife version of Madonna’s “Desperately Seeking Susan” free spirit. Unfortunately, she looks more like Roseanne Roseannadanna. This shot-on-video feature should be shot on sight. Information: (213) 657-1532.
