A Portrait of the Poet as James Broughton (Part One)
0.0/10
Overview
"I know only that this work is an homage to that begun in cinema by Jean Cocteau in his famous trilogy and that, through James, I have become his successor, however unworthy, to continue the work. This film is the first that I have completed which has a soundtrack wholly my own, composed of voices and natural sounds which I recorded, edited, and tape-altered myself. Besides that, my former use of lab-printed and in-camera superimposition to create complex images has been augmented by extensive optical printing. I was forced to build my own printer from surplus parts and to learn how to use it before I could make this film. Perhaps that is why it took so long." —John Luther
