Characterization of Orpheus (1950)
Scenario
In Mexico during the 1950s, an American immigrant in his forties lives a lonely life in the middle of a small American community. However, the arrival of a young college student prompts the man to finally form a meaningful relationship with someone. It was ultimately Daniel Craig who convinced Luca Guadagnino to cast Drew Starkey after watching Guadagnino’s audition tape and telling him that “That” and the guy” after seeing Starkey… William Lee: Sit Down on Your Ass! Or What Was Left of Him After Four Years in the Navy. QUEER. This word has several meanings. The most common is “strange or strange”.
It’s an empty existence
The second most common use is “homosexual”. Both meanings apply to this film, but the first is probably more accurate. This film is more like APOCALYPSE NOW than Brokeback Mountain. The story of “Lee” is a man in his fifties in the fifties. He is an American who has achieved a certain level of financial success and is now living a relatively hedonistic life as an exile in Mexico. He is an alcoholic and in the early stages of drug addiction. He spends his days and nights hanging out in gay bars and having meaningless relationships with men who have nothing in common with their homosexuality. What do you want?
I wish he knew
He can’t put it into words. He meets a younger man who seems to be bisexual (his bar companion is a woman), but they develop a relationship. It doesn’t give him much satisfaction. He wants more from the younger man than the younger is willing to give. Eventually he convinces her to accompany him into the jungles of South America in search of a plant containing a drug that supposedly allows him to develop telepathic powers. He believes that with this drug he can understand what he wants without resorting to words. He is told that there is a shaman in the jungle who can get the plant for him. The two men go into the jungle and indeed find the woman, a wild force played by Lesley Manville – a knife-wielding, gun-toting old woman who seems out for blood.
The acting is also excellent
They gain his trust, at least in part, but he warns them against taking the drug. It opens doors they won’t be able to close. I am glad I watched this film, but it is not for everyone. The ending is mysterious and the gay sex scenes may be too specific for some. It is not exactly hardcore pornography, but it comes close mainly due to the sound effects. The drug-induced hallucinations may be very disturbing for some. This film is amazing to watch; the art direction and cinematography are excellent, each scene is beautifully composed. For me, the portrayal of the objective isolation of the psyche brought to mind the paintings of Edward Hopper.
HARRIS GOES TO PARIS
Daniel Craig can break your heart doing very little. I predict that both he and Lesley Manville will receive Oscar nominations – Manville may win in the supporting actress category. It was only when I saw her name at the end that I realized it was the same actress who played the title role in MRS. It is a wonderful performance. I believe this film will become a staple of the art circuit. It definitely deserves more than one viewing.
