Program Note
A controversial documentary that follows the life of a gay stripper named Oliver. Oliver regards himself as an artist in pursuit of beauty but in fact is a victim of prostitution. Though his family does not agree with Oliver’s way of life, they must rely on him for their livelihood. The film renders his desire for dignity as a human being against the high wall of reality. In his shocking performance called ‘Spiderman,’ Oliver embodies a beauty caught in the web of life.
