Prometheus Triumphant: A Fugue in the Key of Flesh (2007)
Member Rating:  
Exhibiting extreme stylization and thematic influence by the German Expressionists, this silent feature from co-directors Mike McKown and Jim Towns tells of two lovers, the gorgeous Esmeralda and her exiled paramour, Janick (Josh Ebel), whose relationship nearly comes to a bitter end when she contracts a deadly case of the plague. Mercifully, Janick discovers a cure in the last waning moments and attempts to save her life. Towns and McKown employ title cards in the manner of early-20th century silent films; Lucien Desar composed the score. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

    Hypnotic, meditative... visually stunning piece of moving art. This is a briiliant modern adaptation of thought-provoking film making of the past. Kudos!

    I absolutely agree with Betty S. I could not put it better. It is an amazing, original film.

    The weak plot is predictable. Throughout the film, title cards come up to tell you what was just acted out, which makes me wonder if the film makers think we're idiots. There is no trust in the acting. The actors are reasonably talented, and the majority of the title cards are not required. The picture is grainy, the make-up consists of white foundation and black circles around the eyes, and the costumes look like a grade school production. There are many decent low-budget productions out there, but this is not one of them.
