The Mystical Rose (1976)

A disturbing cinematic opera from Melbourne film-maker, Michael Lee, presenting an intense emotional collage of film clips, original footage and complex object animation, structured loosely in the form of a Catholic Mass, to communicate the film-maker’s traumatic Catholic experience. The film is intended in part as ‘anti-imagery’ in response to the iconography of Catholicism.

I’d like to send a big, big thank you to the very kind Michael Lee for sending me a beautiful HD master of this film and for trusting me and rarefilmm to be the first person who shares this film to the public. Michael wanted to upload this film on his Youtube channel but because of the music used it would get blocked/flagged due to copyright so he reached out to me so we could make it available here, how nice of him?!Good thing there’s no such thing as copyright blocks for music on Odnoklassniki! 😉 The original master file was over 80gb so I decided to make 2 encodes of more manageable size, I’m far from being an experienced encoder since I only know how to use Vidcoder and Handbrake but I think they look pretty good! Michael also send me HD copies of the other 2 films that are part of the “Mystical Rose Trilogy”: TURNAROUND (1983) and A CONTEMPLATION OF THE CROSS (1988) which I’ll be uploading very soon as well so stay tuned for those! How about that for an Easter treat huh? Ha. Hope you guys enjoy and thanks again, Michael!
