Staccato

Love, sex and death in Paris. The films were built frame-by-frame in-camera, each being a 100 foot roll. No cuts were made. Number 1-Esmeralda: A rampage through cathédrale Notre-Dame, with thanks to Victor H. Always nice when Esmeralda asks Quasimodo “Pourquoi m’avez-vous sauvé?” isn’t it… Number 2-Jezebel: Not a rampage but a secret run through rue st-Denis and Montmartre, le Moulin Rouge, Place Pigalle. The sex trade in Paris as seen from a dark and bright night. Number 3-Shiva: Not a secret run but a flight through the sprawling, centuries-old cemetery, Père Lachaise. A landscape of old glass, old iron and old stone set deep in the 20th arrondissement. Images of the ritual of the Holy.
