Curses and Sermons
A brilliant, alchemical wedding of word and picture. [This film] captures McClure's poetry and transforms it in a psychedelic alembic of lust, madness and desire. You must see it! – Ray Manzarek, founding member of The Doors
Absolutely amazing, one of the best short films in a very long time ... really cool, truly visionary - Subterranean Cinema Magazine
Curses and Sermons is a sensually deep laceration across the mind - Amber Tamblyn, Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actress
Nic Saunders’ "Curses and Sermons" is a brilliant blend of psychedelic-cowboy-Americana. Actor Philip Bulcock pops off the screen with Michael McClure’s poetry... singing louder then ever before. - Kirk Baltz, actor "Reservoir Dogs", "24"
Visually sumptuous - at times, stunning - Prof. R.J. Ellis, author of "Jack Kerouac - Outside Writing"
A satisfying exploration of an enigmatic work ... stunning visuals - Literary Kicks
Curses & Sermons is a wonderful tribute to Michael McClure, to the sixties, and to an American movie genre that Saunders rightly sees as a perfect embodiment of a classic "beatnik" poem. Most importantly, the film looks great and has wonderful performances - Jack Foley, Poet & Broadcaster
