(In Providence updating via cellphone, plz excuse brevity. Have to share love for classic film chronicling strange adventures of beautiful blond man & laughing dark-haired friend as they sleep, fight, and are dragged by slavers across ancient roman world inspired by classic greek plays and LSD.* Movie is beautiful, like a painting (by Hieronymus Basche). Straight couple lives in orderly world of white togas and classic architecture, all else is darkness and debauchery, dirt and circus horror under apocalyptic skies. Lots of feasting and killing, many slaves. Each scene stranger than the last. Movie ends mid-sentence, as if the story could cont. forever, but little point after SPOILER. )
Recommended.
*because naturally in order to make a movie about homosexuality, one must bring in The Greeks.
