Orgia (1967)
28 Aug 1977 • Short • 0h 12m
A fragment of an abandoned, long work concerning St. Teresa of Avila. A sexual orgy symbolizing the decadence of modern society. Maas, who acts in this film, plays the devil while a wild orgy goes on in his living-room. There is the fantastic drag queen doing her job in the bathroom while frenzied love-making, to the incomparable baroque-jazz music of Tiji Ito, is carried on in Maas's baroque apartment. The camera in bird-swift flight depicts a scene of total decadence as Andy Warhol's Jackie Kennedy careens through the air. By way of explanation: the opening scene shows the director handing out masks to the actors-the same ones used in LSD WALL by John Hawkins. The taking of LSD was part of the original script. Not to be commingled with Pasolini's play of 1968.
