The Rainbow Serpent

Directed by Philippe Vallois1983France85 mins

Philippe Vallois' (director of the gay classic We Were One Man) latest work is a fully developed tale of suspense set in the world of male body-building that reminded at least one French critic of "Diva rewritten by Dali with rock replacing opera."

A rookie cop, investigating a body-builder suspected of murder, is drawn into the erotic world of gyms and body-worship. An S&M relationship develops between the men as The Rainbow Serpent tells its unusual tale of homoeroticism between heterosexual men. An intelligent entertainment, The Rainbow Serpent is both a comic stylization of a French police movie that even includes fantasy musical production numbers and a startling depiction of sexual ambiguities. Serge Avédikian of We Were One Man stars.
