The most aesthetically pleasing of Anger's shorts.

Audience Reviews for Eaux d'artifice

A Marie Antoinette-type character walks around an incredible outdoor array of fountains located in Tivoli, Italy. The film image: tinted blue. The soundtrack: Vivaldi. Spurting water everywhere, and lots of grimacing gargoyles. At a mere 12 minutes, the film doesn't wear out its welcome. Lovely.

Kenneth Anger's short blue tinted film showing a French Aristocrat type wandering around a Garden of Fountains with lots of flowing and bubbling water...the images are quite hypnotic. It is an interesting experimental film with a lot of beautiful images in it's short running time.
