Satan Bouche un Coin

May 04, 1968
The film is a series of images, shown in short takes (anywhere from a few frames to 30 seconds), of more or less fetishistic imagery (something Bouyxou was particularly fond of). After a credit and title sequence written on naked human flesh, the viewer sees the brilliant Molinier standing sanctimoniously in front of a screen. Soon he is joined by a woman, and he fondles her breasts while retaining his signature grin. Molinier seems to almost be the 'ringmaster' of the incidents, with almost every minute episode cutting back to him. His presence is one thing that makes this film remarkable; the same sort of aura that exists in Moliniers famous self-portraits and cut-ups is present here, on screen. (esotika.blogspot.com)

Le voyageur diurne

Jan 01, 1966
A woman walks, loves, eats and washes herself, dances. It all takes place in a bedroom. At times flashbacks, or visualizations of previous or following scenes. Unless her life in the bedroom becomes an obsession, she lives through the other scenes.

Tourné en 1967, finalisé en 1975 et sorti en 1976, le tourbillon expérimental de couleurs et de musique infusé d'acide de l'acteur Pierre Clémenti met en scène un who's who de l'underground français des années 60.

Le deuxième film d’O’Leary est un collage décousu de séquences magnifiquement filmées: paysages urbains, panneaux et panneaux publicitaires, nus et caméos d’autres acteurs/cinéastes français de l’époque.

Chromo sud

Jan 01, 1968
One of the very few films made by Etienne O'Leary, all of which emerged from the French underground circa 1968 and can be very loosely designated 'diary films.' Like the contemporaneous films by O'Leary's more famous friend Pierre Clementi, they trippily document the drug-drenched hedonism of that era's dandies. O'Leary worked with an intoxicating style that foregrounded rapid and even subliminal cutting, dense layering of superimposed images and a spontaneous notebook type shooting style. Yet even if much of O'Leary's material was initially 'diaristic,' depicting the friends, lovers, and places that he encountered in his private life, the metamorphoses it underwent during editing transformed it into a series of ambiguously fictionalized, sometimes darkly sexual fantasias. - Experimental Film Club

L'état normal

Jul 07, 1967
Collage of happenings and realities of the French counterculture, including ritual feasts during which beings emerge from behind the walls and find their normal state. The film is against all moral, aesthetic and political "values" of industrial society. —Jean-Jacques Lebel

Directed by a friend of Étienne O'Leary, this film missive, whose words are images, was held in very high esteem by Pierre Clémenti.
