A bizarre, disturbing dreamscape of violation, rape, and homoerotic sado-masochism. The film opens with Anger, who made this film when he was only 17, awaking from a troubled dream and leaving his house to go on a stroll. He is confronted by a band of buff sailors who proceed to beat, manhandle, and molest him. Ends with the amazing image of a sailor unzipping his fly and pulling out a lit roman candle.
"A dissatisfied dreamer awakes, goes out in the night seeking a 'light' and is drawn through the needle's eye. A dream of a dream, he returns to a bed less empty than before."
