It's not as beautiful as Miracle of the Rose but it's pretty great. I wish Genet had directed more.

No, (that would be interesting though) I was just comparing this short film to my favorite Genet novel...maybe not fair an artist's work in 2 different mediums I admit.

And what do the words and dialogue in a novel conjure if not images (and perhaps music)? An unfair comparison, sure, but far from "arbitrary."

actually on 2nd thought i don't think it was an arbitrary comparison: the film features all Genet's usual themes and motifs that his early novels do so comparing them is fair even though the mediums are very different.

Just purely amazing! Strangely erotic and sensually hypnotic, this film condenses and distills the power of the image. Montage and mise-en-scene are intertwined like the naked male bodies in the movie.

terribly drawn to the music of this film, i did some research and other sources say it's not Gavin Bryars, but Simon Fisher Turner. i looked up the track and it is what i heard on the film... Turner also did music for Jarman films. thus I think Bryars is an error! either way, this is as brilliant and accessible as experimental queer cinema gets. genius.

Bryars did a soundtrack for a rerelease of the film in the 1970s. Those prints and that soundtrack must be out there somewhere, though I've never been able to find it/them. When it was first shown, it was shown silent with no music at all. The excellent SFT soundtrack was added for the fairly recent DVD release.
