Les Intrigues de Sylvia Couski
1975 · Movie · 90 min. · France
Adolfo Arrieta’s third feature film stars famed French transsexual and founding member of the FHAR (Homosexual Front for Revolutionary Action), Marie-France, and is widely regarded as the first Parisian underground film. The loose plot revolves around the ex-wife of a famous sculptor who convinces her lover to remove a work by her ex-husband and replace it with a live model. “Its subject is the Paris transvestite scene and it’s depicted with the flair of Jack Smith, the directness of Andy Warhol, and the special tenderness of Arrieta. I salute the Poet.” — Jonas Mekas, February, 1975.
