New restored 16mm print screening in Philadelphia 8/25/12: http://ihousephilly.org/events/normal-love-new-restored-print/
This is the film where all of Jack Smith's many experiments in medium format color photography came into play, as well all those hours he spent dreaming in movie theaters as a kid. Gathering his caravan of creatures and costumes together he took them out into the wilds of CT and Long Island to make something close to his version of a Midsummer Night's Dream, though here it is the dream life of a worshipful mermaid.
