Ritratti di Rose1974

The film is based on the book The Image Makers: Sixty Years of Hollywood Glamor by Paul Trent (1972): a parade of cinematographic icons that immortalize the myths of Hollywood during the so called Golden Age. The divas are paired with wilted roses while the song It's Almost Tomorrow (1955) by Jo Stafford resonates. A young and naked woman opens and closes a door repeatedly. On a bed, the performer is dedicated to solitary pleasure. At the moment of the orgasm, a big phallus appears, then the photographs of the divas and the withered roses return. A bitter reflection on the world of cinema, as it is conceived and implemented on a commercial level.
