Screen Test # 6 Australiana (AKA James Dean Jesus)
00:09:32 2007
The aesthetic elements of James Dean’s last film, Giant, are fused together at the final moments of his death where James Dean is elevated to a godlike Hollywood icon. This performance reconstructs the moment of transcendence within the context of the masculine mythology of the Australian outback and is lost to emptiness, desolation and ruin.
