The Image
Director: Radley Metzger
1975 / 89min / DCP
“The Image is a meticulous exercise in threshold states, its characters tarrying at the borders of taboo. Like Naked Came the Stranger, it adapts a famously pseudonymous text: here, the S&M novel L’Image (1956). Unlike Naked, though, The Image was the only film Metzger released under his own name during his ‘Henry Paris’ period, in effect turning the pseudonym game inside out.” —Rob King, series curator, film historian and author of Man of Taste: The Erotic Cinema of Radley Metzger
Distributor: Muscle Distribution
Introduction by Rob King and Ashley West, writer and founder of The Rialto Report on Friday, April 24th
