Orgia

Synopsis

A fragment of an abandoned, long work concerning St. Teresa of Avila. A sexual orgy symbolizing the decadance of modern society. Maas, who acts in this film, plays the devil while a wild orgy goes on in his living-room. There is the fantastic drag queen doing her job in the bathroom while frenzied love-making, to the incomparable baroque-jazz music of Tiji Ito, is carried on in Maas's baroque apartment...

About

Orgia was originally planned to be a part of a larger body of work but this was the only part of the script that was completed.

Jonas Mekas described this film (and another of Maas' films Excited Turkeys) as, "...two green trees towering above the contemporary ramblings... I consider the two new works of Maas among the important works of cinema... There is a powerful personality behind them. Both works are examples of film realism."¹
