Finally available, and for free.
From a review in Variety:
Surfacing after 30 years, celebrated photog William Eggleston's pioneering experiments with black-and-white video teem with drunken denizens of Southern nightlife. Fitting an early-model Sony Porta-Pak with a prime lens and an infra-red tube, Eggleston approached his lurching subjects with the same close-up intensity that informs his famous still photographs. Certain sequences of lost weekends seem to surge out from a murky oblivion, although co-director Robert Gordon's 77-minute curatorial re-edit softens the edges somewhat.More of a curiosity than anything else for me, but I've wanted to check this out for years.
Very anxious to check this out, thanks for tracking it down.
ReplyDeleteWow. Is it watchable at all?
ReplyDeleteNo, not really.
