ELYSIAN FIELDS, Part 1

Directed by Christian Doherty. Filmed: 1974/Completed: 2009. Recently rediscovered and completed by Tom Soter (who wrote dialogue for Doherty's random images), this haunting film doesn't reveal its origins: a collection of bits and pieces from uncompleted projects, home movies, and other sources. It stars Soter as a man apparently reflecting on his life though to give it that much linearity is misleading. It is Doherty crossed with Bunuel and Welles, by way of Sam Peckinpah.

This guy's not a real smoker. The fake smoking doesn't work. Zoom in a bit. And do a bit of work on miking the set. This has potential. It could be quite humorous if done correctly.
