Eclipse of the Sun Virgin (1967) [Short]

USA (MIFF1989,George Kuchar Retrospective)
Director: George Kuchar

Kuchar's Fireworks, an obsessive autobiographical vignette, which like Kenneth Anger's film, ends in violence (a few frames from a medical instruction film). Instead of sexual fantasy, though, Kuchar plays out self-loathing and sexual fears against ugly sixties styles and plastic Catholic software. Here is the abrasive edge of Kuchar's wit.
