Working over the course of eight years in his downtown Manhattan loft, artist James Bidgood crafted this luxuriant queer fantasia, a crimson-saturated idyll of camp excess and erotic spectacle. Whiling away the hours between visits from his john, a handsome, brooding male prostitute (Bobby Kendall) loses himself in daydreams of incredible beauty, fantastic colors, and elaborate costumes as he imagines himself as everything from a triumphant matador vanquishing a bull (who is really a leather-clad biker) and an innocent wood nymph gamboling in the forest to a diaphanously dressed harem boy in the tent of a sheik.
