Subtitled “Eros in Psyche” and set to a composition by Tomaso Albinoni, Lawrence Jordan’s rapturous live action short contemplates two nude figures in California idyll. They remain physically separated but Jordan’s spellbinding cutting and tactile camerawork suggest a loosening of inhibition. Parisian fountains and classical statues signal the deep cultural bedrock for the filmmaker’s ostensibly freewheeling portraiture.

2 hippies, having seen a phallic water fountain, fantasize about getting naked in a park in California. One dreams of cleaning herself, the other dreams of altering his perception of reality with a pipe. The end.

I like that they remained 2 separate people happy in their lives alone, for the time being, with no plot required. Beautiful forms, though I'd like to see more of his to equal it out.
