Flaubert Dreams of Travel But the Illness of His Mother Prevents It 1986 Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte

Drawing from Flaubert's The Temptation of Saint Anthony, his letters, travel journals, and biography, this video layers fantasy, sexual obsession, morbidity, Romanticism, and boredom alongside the ghostliness of empty hotel rooms, aural atmosphere, and an homage to surrealist and horror films.
