thank you to you tuber
Dagomir Rotyork (cited below in full ) for making this work of
Carmelo Bene available again.
Twenty years or so back when the internet was wilder , more open Bene's work was there for all to see.
In Times square in Picadilly to quote William Burroughs ....
It's not the case as often these days.
Deleuze wrote a number of essays and almost manifetos
about Bene's work. There are numerous references to them in thee web
one old blog https://carmelobene.blogspot.com/ at one point had nearly all the film versions of it posted however it looks tattered these days
<'14 Oct 2022 Riccardo III is a theatre play staged in 1977 and also edited for television and aired in 1981, which Carmelo Bene dedicated to his friend Gilles Deleuze, who wrote a book about it before even seeing it. Bene strips down the original shakesperian play to the core, rejecting plot and characters, leaving on stage only Riccardo III and his ghosts, the female characters. The TV version is characterized by an exstensive use of close-ups and strong light contrast. English subtitles by quidtum (KG), thank you!
