'

The camera pans over a relief which shows Jesus with the apostles at the last supper. 'The flesh was lean/ and the women moved forward/ like piranhas in a stream/ they spread themselves before me/ and offering so sweet/ and they beckoned and they beckoned/ come on darling eat,' sings Patti Smith from off-camera. A Eucharist of the cannibals. Robert Frank's framing also has a cannibalistic effect. It dismembers the musician's body as she plays her song. Summer Cannibals - the film is named after her song - is hardly a conventional [VID] Video clip. - Robert Frank often breaks away from his protagonist. In fast travelling shots, he dashes through the rehearsal room like a man possessed, eventually finding the singer once again. This creates a tension between the music and film; the two almost repel each other, almost absorb each other.
