The story

What Is Blue Moses About?

The premise of Blue Moses without spoilers.

Unlike most of Stan Brakhage’s experimental work, this short film incorporates spoken dialogue and a distinct protagonist, creating a sly, bitter polemic in which an actor—perhaps a poet or director—confronts an unseen audience. The piece was preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2007.
