Prometheus Triumphant: A Fugue in the Key of Flesh (2007)

My Rating

Movie Info

Exhibiting extreme stylization and thematic influence by the German Expressionists, this silent feature from co-directors Mike McKown and Jim Towns tells of two lovers, the gorgeous Esmeralda and her exiled paramour, Janick (Josh Ebel), whose relationship nearly comes to a bitter end when she contracts a deadly case of the plague. Mercifully, Janick discovers a cure in the last waning moments and attempts to save her life. Towns and McKown employ title cards in the manner of early-20th century

Unrated, 1 hr. 19 min.
