shierfilm Review of Lions Love (... and Lies)

Lions Love (... and Lies) (1969)

If Warhol & Godard made a home movie of a trip to L.A...

[5 December 2002]

Lion's Love is a pseudo-documentary with no concrete direction. It asks us to be voyeurs of three people who define cavalierism.. An oddly fascinating look at late 60's America via the very french Varda. Hard to recommend, but cineastes of new-wave/non-linear film will love it. Worth noting for a cameo by James Douglas Morrison as a theater patron.
