Synopsis:

No spanish review yet:
Fireworks: Having awoken from his dangerous, late-night dream-within-a-dream of repressed desires, a young man in his prime gets dressed, and as if in a trance, goes to a noisy, bustling-with-people bar. There, a strong, muscular sailor catches his eye, only to trigger a sudden, almost brutal sexual assault by his fellow navy men. Amid reality and illusion, is there a truth hidden in this sadomasochistic fantasy? Puce Moment: The ritual of dressing and going out. A Hollywood star of the Twenties reviews
her spangled wardrobe, selects a gown for the evening - a sequined puce-coloured sheath. A touch of perfume, and the chaise-longue bears her away to the Spanish porch where her wolf hounds await. Rabbit's Moon: A Japanese fairy tale meets commedia dell'Arte. All in white, the naïf Pierrot lies in a wood. Doo-wop music plays as he rises, stares about, and reaches for the moon. Although music abounds and the children of the wood are there at play, Pierrot is melancholy and alone. Harlequin appears, brimming with confidence and energy. He conjures the lovely Colombina. Pierrot is dazzled. But can the course of true love run smooth? Eaux d'artifice: A woman dressed elegantly walks purposely through the water gardens at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, as the music of Vivaldi's 'Winter' movement of 'The Four Seasons' plays. Heavy red filters give a blue cast to the light; water plays across stone, and fountains send it into the air. No words are spoken. Baroque statuary and the sensuous flow of water are back lit. Anger calls it 'water games.' Inauguration of the Pleasure Dome: A Slavonic Mass by Leos Janácek plays as historical figures, biblical characters, and mythical creatures gather in the pleasure dome. Aphrodite, Lilith, Isis, Kali, Astarte, Nero, Pan, the Great Beast and the Scarlet Woman are part of a visual feast of superimposed images, hallucinations, and the spirit of decadence of the 'Yellow '90s.' Mythological images from Aleister Crowley, cabbalistic symbols, artifice, and magic combine to render the pleasure dome both as prison and as celebration.
