    Russell’s Marat/Sade in its way directed with flamboyance and with all the familiar elements in place including a a small part for himself. I haven’t seen any of his films in years so many thanks to Jon for this seldom screened film.

    It was a very silly film. Of course my favorite part was Salome giving her dance. There seemed to be a little ‘extra’ in there also.

    It has been quite a while since I last saw this. Now the hackers that the religious zealots have employed have managed to progress from terribly disgusting video stoppages to now being able to stop the video portion of the film and only allowing the audio portion to continue (with continual stoppages). So, the screen stayed on the same unwavering image, with only the audio playing starting with Salome’s dance. Very disgusting!!!
