Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures
Leave it to queer filmmakers (and former Club Kids) Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato to raise cinematic hell over famed photographic hell raiser Robert Mapplethrope. Mapplethorpe, of course, became infamous for his homoerotic and sexually explicit photographic studies, and the massive backlash they incurred. Bailey and Barbato, who already covered the same kind of controversy and the way it shaped the culture with Inside Deep Throat, don’t quite achieve the same kind of impact here. Nevertheless, Mapplethorpe: Look at the Pictures has enough cinematic allure to make it engaging through its entire run time.
