BLACK AND WHITE PHOTO – 1973
Curt kissing Brian – under the first slams of ‘Baby’s on Fire’/Brian Eno. ...
INT. MAGAZINE PRESS – DAY – 1973
We see editions of the ‘kiss photo’ being printed, cut and bound on machines. We see magazines boxed and loaded into trucks.
EXT. NEWSSTAND – DAY – 1973
Boxes are opened by vendors and put on display. Money is handed to vendors and magazines are handed back in exchange.
FAST DISSOLVE TO:
ARTHUR’S BEDROOM – SUBURBAN MANCHESTER – NIGHT - 1973
TRACK OUT from the ‘kiss photo’ in Teenage Arthur’s Melody Maker magazine.
CLOSE ON Arthur, lips moist, entranced.
Todd Haynes from an interview in City Pages by Rob Nelson: "The character of the fan was always there from the beginning, the last thing I wanted to do was take that insider's perspective of most rock bio-pics, where you're automatically behind closed doors and in the intimate lives of the rock stars. I just couldn't imagine doing that. I was more interested in that whole idea of the rock stars' kiss being photographed at some party, and then following the picture as it goes through the system--being reproduced and printed and handed out at the newsstand, where some kid picks up a copy, takes it home, opens it up, and falls into its spell. To me, it's all about how desire gets transferred in that way, how it ends up in the sweaty palms of kids all over the world. The sweaty palms were as important to me as the original kiss."
