Eros, O Basileus (1967): cast, story & where to watch
1967 · Film
Released in 1967, Eros, O Basileus is a drama film directed by Gregory J. Markopoulos, running about 45 minutes.
What it’s about. Structured in nine tableaux each a study of a simple action or situation involving a lone, naked figure, the blind Eros, searching for fulfilment, for self. The objects he touches - books, paintings - can be seen as icons of the creative spirit; there is also a motor cycle and film equipment. In succeeding scenes he appears to try on identities offered by institutional doctrines of religion and social traditions of (overt) masculinity. Much of the film was constructed in-camera with a small amount of editing afterwards. An innovation was the use of in-camera fade-outs as phrase markers, not as terminal points, within a single set-up or shot.
Who’s in it. Eros, O Basileus stars Robert Beavers as Eros.
