This film combines traditional modes of narrative cinema with filmed elements of performance, sculpture, and opera inspired by Norman Mailers novel, ANCIENT EVENINGS, a hypersexual story of Egyptian gods and the seven stages of reincarnation, alongside the rise and fall of the American car industry. The films central scene is an abstraction of Mailers wake, set in a replica of the late authors apartment in Brooklyn Heights. Alluring and intense, this epic, multidimensional experience is a sprawling allegory of death and rebirth within the contemporary American landscape
