Format: Cast Recording, Limited Edition Label: Spooky Pooch Manufacturer: Spooky Pooch Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Spooky Pooch Running Time: 96 minutes Studio: Spooky Pooch Editorial Review: Product Description: Writer/Director's statement: "I thought Queer was a dramatic story; it has a nice structure and a nice flow. After the two men get together, the Burroughs character takes Eugene on a journey to South America -a quest to find a new drug he believes will be the answer to the questions in his life, but of course it is a failure. The story becomes very dark and gets lost in the jungle, petering out without a real conclusion. There is an epilogue about him coming back to Mexico City that he added years later but is suddenly in the first person. It's very dramatically appealing. * * * * I adapted Queer with a friend, John Morace. Part of the deal with the Burroughs Estate was that we couldn't change a word. We could only cut things down. That didn't bother me at all because I was attracted to the language and I was not interested in writing arias that had nice rhymes or whatever." |
