David Have you heard of this film beofre?? The 'Because we must' Moz phrase has driven me nuts and saw this: Because We Must - PopcornQ Movies (1989, Great Britain) Director: Atlas, Charles Has the Jarman bit to it so maybe true... Because We Must starts with Michael Clark puking on the camera lens. Clark is the epitome of London's post-punk arty gay scene; like Derek Jarman, he's become increasingly both outspoken politically and respected professionally. Because We Must is a recording of the same-name show that first played at Sadlers Well, London, in 1989, put together with canny style by director Charles Atlas (who made the earlier Clark portrait, Hail the New Puritan, shown at the 1987 festival). Onstage: Marilyn lookalikes pose while a girl with a chain saw decapitates a colleague, all to a Chopin sonata. Backstage: Clark gives a lipsticky smile to the camera, and runs about changing his Leigh Bowery and Bodymap costumes every two minutes. The show hops backward in time to the sixties, from a comic, queeny cover of Ebony and Ivory, to T-Rex, Blue Meenies, and psychedelia--with a pitstop for pub-set Cockney songs and choreography. Strange by even British standards, Because We Must is possibly the queerest thing in this year's festival. --Mark Finch

Antony and The Johnsons provided the music :)
and there were 13 supermodels waiting for their chance on the turntable to be filmed live by Mr. Atlas.
