the media interest is also evident in other papers. Earlier video-essay, "Premonition of Absurd Perversion in Sexual Personae Part One" is a return to primary sources of inspiration - the American "underground" literary and film. It is also an attempt to redefine the category borrowed from Kenneth Anger - fascinated by the male body, the pioneer of gay cinema. Maybury analyzed in a series of fascinating images of the process of fetishization of the male body, however, clearly indicating that the body is seen through the prism of technology. A similar problem occurs in "Remembrance of Things Fast" (1994) - another project on the borderline of film and video art. Familiar names appear: re Tilda Swinton, Rupert Everett and Aiden Brady - the star of pornographic films. The director does not treat them as actors, but rather as "images of bodies", included in flickering stream of remittances television. "Remembrance" is a far more radical project funded by the BBC's "Man to Man", proving once again that for Maybury film is primarily an art of image, but only in the second place - the story.
adopt a similar attitude in cinema, "Love is the Devil." Creator interested in it primarily to reconstruct the vision of Bacon - an eminent painter. The action takes place in the '60s and includes a relatively short episode related to the person of George Dyer - a lover and model of the artist. Commenting on his film Maybury pointed out that Dyer is rarely mentioned in studies of the painter and his biographies. Association of the artist dating from the margin of a young man in fact seemed to be too outrageous. This is what made the Maybury did not obtain permission to use the original images Bacon. In the film, do not watch them at all - appear on the screen just paintings "pretending" style of the artist, displayed in the background in the scene of the opening of the exhibition in Paris. The director, initially disappointed by the lack of sympathetic painter's heirs, treats constraints as a challenge: rather than show the finished work, the presentation focused on the process of their formation. Formed also the reality film in a way that suggests vulnerability Bacon painting. Some scenes are so - like scary vision of the artist - shown from a perspective that radically distorts reality. Maybury'emu managed to maintain consistency with this film, because the problem can not be arbitrary deformations of the director motivates the characters by showing the refractile glass or reflected in broken mirrors.
