Derek Jarman's Sebastiane has lots of slow-motion naked men in water. It is less clear what this has to say, but I’m not mad about it. And I’m gonna watch another 3 or 4 Jarman movies this month, so I will see what else he has in store for me. Also, this whole movie is in Latin... which made it hard to identify with these guys. Oh, I hated the opening to this, with its references to Fellini-Satyricon, but the rest is much better.
Also, it's been ages since I've seen Claire Denis's Beau Travail, but surely that movie is based on Sebastiane. I will need to look that up.
