Aphrodite’s Green Moon
This whirlwind celebration of romantic love, ardent desire and colorful natural forms reflects mighty Aphrodite’s furtive and disruptive way of playing a man’s anima, here a fanciful inner woman with red lips, a honeycomb hat, wings, thong and fire off against the most indecisive workaday Hollywood film editor imaginable. Her indecision is dramatized by two Thai swordsmen as a starved stone Buddha must perforce shelter the artist’s inner child and waning flame of hope as an intractable Dionysian goat looks perpetually on.
