MASTERPIECE OF FLAMING CINEMA, 15 November 2004
10/10
Author: bookbeat-1 from United States

FLAMING CREATURES is the bedrock of all underground cinema. Even if it was only a title without a film, it would stand as a masterpiece!

Jack Smith is the exotic gilded director of mouldy dreams...

his value is rising daily as a shinning star above the junk-heap of no-good commercial film-making.

We genuflect at the altar of his magnificent glowing cinematic masterpiece... scotch-taped together with glitter and

rhinestone studded splices. Where have all the brave film-makers gone?-- No one but Jack has had the balls to change our awareness-- FLAMING CREATURES has the atomic structure

of a new reality and consciousness.
