1969réf. 155087New York: Contemporary Films 1969. Vintage reference photograph from the 1969 film showing Robert Frank Peter Orlovsky and Allen Ginsberg. Printed mimeo snipe affixed to the verso along with the stamp of Israel Film Archive. Director Robert Frank's first feature film and Sam Shepard's screenwriting debut following Frank as he accompanies poet Peter Orlovsky and Orlovsky's catatonic mentally ill brother Julius through the late 1960s Beat scene. When Julius wanders off he is replaced in the film by actor Joseph Chaikin pushing the boundaries of cinematic reality. The film was restored and released by Steidl in 2007 alongside a book publication outlining the film which notes: "Frank's feature debut was first screened in 1968 at the Venice Film Festival. Everything which had defined Frank's art up to that point turns up in this film - the look at America 'from the outside' the poetic libertinage of the Beats the marginal in a central role. It celebrates the return of the poetic essay as assemblage the affirmation of the underground as a wild cinematic analysis in the form of a collage and skillfully weaves together opposites plays counterfeits against the authentic pornography against poetry acting against being Beat cynicism against hippie romanticism monochrome against colored. The story contains bizarre twists and turns and appears to be a rather artless-film-within-a-film being shown at a rundown movie theater." 10 x 8 inches. Near Fine. Contemporary Films unknown

1976réf. 151965Paris: President Films 1976. Vintage borderless reference photograph of Jane Birkin from the 1976 film. "Societe Nationale" stamp on verso. Waitress Johnny works and lives in a truck stop lonely and longing for love. She develops a crush on the garbage truck driver Krassky although her sleazy boss Boris warns her that Krassky is gay. Krassky likes Johnny too perhaps because of her boyish physique. But both of them fail to notice the growing jealousy of Krassky's boyfriend Padovan and trouble sets in. Billy Stevenson of notes in the "A Film Canon" blog: "Serge Gainsbourg directed this film based on his iconic song and it plays as an extended gloss on that song an attempt to visualize what was happening during those infamous sighs and pants . It is a testament to Gainsbourg's commitment to the song and his own status as sexual outlaw that he presents us with a film that's just as confronting and titillating some 30 years later. "Set against a drifting rambling desert backdrop part New Wave part New Hollywood. Johnny and Krassky's attraction is sexually charged and yet it doesn't seem to conform to their sexual proclivities.with an audioverite that makes you wonder whether these scenes might actually involve real sex. In its yearning to experience sex in every conceivable way-as a gay man as a lesbian as a man as a woman as pleasure as pain-the film ends up virtualizing it or at least generalizing it into an undifferentiated sexual access that feels quite incorporeal a clear forerunner to both the Cinema du Look and art porn movements." 6.5 x 9 inches.
