Arcana
The secrets and mysteries of love. Arcana.
Wrapped up in a punk skateboarder and his friends and lovers in
The punk life. One of those films that stands on its own as a one time phenom, never to be repeated again. For director or talent.
Actually, I do not know this. The film just seems so special, like a wild flower, that one hopes to be the only one to know about it.
It is a people film. It turns out that people are pretty much the same with each other even with blue hair or totally pierced bodies.
Oh. A gay film. For sure. Some very nice love scenes, soft porn. Sweet.
As a side note, there are some nice scenes at Joshua Tree National Park. Home ground.
I give this film a 5 for uniqueness and aptness of thought. A neat little essay on love between men whether carnal, family or just, as it turns out, customers in a record shop.
A lot of this made me think of another record shop film High Fidelity. High standards but this film is up to it.
