Synopsis
Being John Smith
Being John Smith is a deceptively wry and deeply felt work by the English avant-garde legend, in which Smith reflects on his life and career by way of his generic name, grappling with his own mortality and legacy, through a minimal, unassuming deployment of text, image, and voice.
Secret Paris
Features gourmets chowing down on bats, voodoo practitioners, a chap who has a fetish for being covered in bees and a gal who has the Eiffel Tower tattooed on her behind so she can sell the skin at a later date. These choice cuts are interspersed with the usual parade of prostitutes, transvestites and strippers.
