Born Too Late

Filmic treatment of an original dirge fugue composed and delivered on screen by Tav Falco, himself...a singer, claims Variety "who was the first to treat Fellini to a Mississippi mud pak." Filmed in the baroque Cupola Room of Club Fésék in Budapest by cinématographer, Sas Tàmàs, and directed by Rainer Kirberg. The Austrian actress, Nina Tischler, debuts her career as 'Belzina'... and the avant-garde fashion designer, Tamàs Kiràly, known as the Jean Paul Gaultier of the east, appears here as a switch-blade wielding hustler. The Viennese dancer, Doris Ebner, performs a feline, tango ritual in the arms of Làszlò Attila who has been described as a dancing Bela Lugosi.

Masque of Hotel Orient

A melancholic lament about romantic longing and regret, originally written and performed by Tav Falco for his album Shadow Dancer. The piece was shot in Vienna’s famous Hotel Orient, a discreet brothel frequented by Orson Welles and Graham Greene during the filming of Carol Reed’s classic The Third Man. Notable Viennese stage and film actress Ellen Umlauf appears. Underground filmmaker and writer Kenneth Anger also appears as himself, shuffling a tarot deck and presiding over Tav Falco’s strange transformation into the dagger-wielding figure Fantômas.
