One of the favourite movies @punt_rd of my ex college fiance. I have never seen it - but the soundtrack is superb. I know its scriptwriter - the musician and author John Shirley, who has written lyrics for Blue Oyster Cult. We have discussed our mutual experiences in the Gurdjieff Work (he was a personal student of the noted philosopher Jacob Needleman) and his research into Mount Athos and Greek/Eastern Orthodox hesychast religious abd contemplative practices.
