The Loves of Ondine - 16MM

Interview and Roxy Cinema present:

In his star turn as a leading man, “the underground’s greatest dramatic actor” Robert Olivo, a/k/a Ondine, exudes serial killer charm (think Satanic Michael Nesmith) in a series of “encounters” with the opposite sex. Despite Viva’s best effort, none seem to dent his fidelity. Could it be congenital? Or something far more sinister? Flash cut to the woods of East Hampton where Rolando Peña, Founder and Director of the Foundation of the Totality, and the Banana Cuban Boys perform a Happening called “The Paella-Bicycle-Totality Crucifixion”. Huh? Enter Joe Dallesandro in his first ever Warhol film appearance. Together with Ondine the duo re-enacts Gorgeous George vs. Dandy Dan Miller at Madison Square Garden. Call in the calvary: Brigid Berlin puts the bow on this fucker by way of epic bitch-fest. One of the oddest entries in the Warhol/Morrissey sexploitation canon, a film that posits the notion that everything we know about the “sexual revolution” of the 1960s is probably wrong and definitely stupid. Not to be missed.
