Fountains

It was odd - "Meshes of the Afternoon" hit a deeper nerve, "Fireworks" was more arresting, and yet, for some reason for me, Anger's "Eaux d'Artifice" was the most memorable film we watched. It was a bizarre, epic, orchestral, divinely and explosively aquatic exploration of fountains; the title literally means "Water Fireworks." What does it mean? I haven't the faintest idea. I liked its unity - its sustained pursuit of this mysterious medieval woman in some sort or magical land of fountains created its own world out of something as simple and pretty as fountains. And I don't think I'd be wrong if I suggested that Anger may have found something fascinatingly climactic and sexual in these fountains he's so interested in. Fun Fact? The figure Anger uses is in fact a dwarf - intended to make the fountains look more majestic.
