The Illiac Passion
Prometheus, on an Odyssean journey, crosses the Brooklyn Bridge in search of the characters of his imagination. After meeting the Muse, he proceeds to the "forest." There, under an apple tree, he communes with his selves, represented by celebrated personages from the New York "underground scene" who appear as modern correlatives to the figures of Greek mythology. The filmmaker, who narrates the situations with a translation of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound , finds the personalities of his characters to have a timeless universality.

Reviews
This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Fresh and Exciting
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
