These are images from the later half of Jack Smith's perpetually and perfectly unfinished epic of exotica. I don't want to overwhelm the unsuspecting viewer with an overabundance of beauty in one sitting. The effects might prove too stimulating. In another post, most likely the next, I will present selected frames from the beginning to somewhere near the middle; and so give a kind of complete (though relatively rough) sequential adumbration. There have been many attempts to characterize this great work of the cinematic art (whether too many or too few I can't say,) but no writing can substitute for the actual viewing of it.
