CGiii Comment

Strictly for the surrealists...and, the Jarman fanbase.

It's screamingly awful..but then, there are those who adore it.

It's time to make your own mind up and, there's no sitting on the fence - commit.

It's either trash or genius!!!

The(ir) Blurb...

A nearly wordless visual narrative intercuts two main stories and a couple of minor ones. A woman, perhaps the Madonna, brings forth her baby to a crowd of intrusive paparazzi; she tries to flee them. Two men who are lovers marry and are arrested by the powers that be. The men are mocked and pilloried, tarred, feathered, and beaten. Loose in this contemporary world of electrical-power transmission lines is also Jesus. The elements, particularly fire and water, content with political power, which is intolerant and murderous.
