The content was perfect but the music playing in the background, was distracting.

The Empire bar…….

I come back and watch this often 🖤

Georges Bataille | SACRIFICE and SOVEREIGNTY 1034am 17.9.24 who stole my facsimile of minotaur? yer dead to me.

William S Burroughs Francis Bacon Documentary 1026am 17.9.24 a black hole? it has laws which are applicable to it. it mirrors the aquatic depths. no matter how discordant those scientists say it is. you get my drift. they'll seek to control it. like he feared they would death with their atomic warheads... as they wipe out your soul. communistic attitude to death these scientists. so we'll say it does not adhere to any law lest they all begin to track and map and scrutinize and delve and kill... erase.... destroy.

Does anybody remember that Burroughs killed his wife. shot her in the head.

SPOOKS aka working for the Man. Modern Art is a money laundering market of product masquerading as art or non art. Phony anti establishment controlled opposition. Rich kids, peerage & blueboods, is not where counter culture or revolution comes from.

What an utterly beautiful person.

How is it possible to have subtitles for the video? I can't understand everything that is being said here. Thank you.

08:55 good that they already understood electroshock therapy is total evil bullocks.

This video is super! Keep up the great work - your channel is 🔥

I wish I had as deep and masculine voice as Burroughs had. Being from the Midwest, we're both equally nasal.

What an amazing document.

I love the fact that Burroughs was so elegant and cool (and growing old, looking more and more like some kind of quiet business man, a little bit like Marcel Duchamp) and at the same time probably the most daring and radical and underground writer of the magic super trio (my idols !! :) of the Beat generation : Kerouac, Ginsberg, Burroughs :) Anyway this doc is priceless, so thank you so much ! :)

bro. this is really great! what an underrated channel we have here.

Monty python " do you want to come round to my house? Yeah alright

What you are going to get into space has yet to be discovered

Look at rick astley

Night of the iguana. The glass menagerie

It's the Avon lady

Disappeared up your arm😂

Burroughs - what a wonderful voice! Committed suicide in the Warhol diaries. Mind you, two of Bacon's boyfriends killed themselves

Presume they didn’t want to upset David Hockney if bacon said he hated him 😂

What a great documentary

It was genuinely nice to see a happy and functional family. Full of shared moments, reasonable reactions, and room to grow and share. Not TV-happy, not a forced family, or a broken family. Not just the people you go home to everyday, but the people you share your life with. Wonder how everybody is doing now from this family. Also, that is correct. A clean pussy is, in fact, a happy pussy.

A junky and a lush reminiscing Algiers, discussing art and asking 'do you know so-and-so'... the body language is inneresting and reminds me of many drunken convo's I've had with my favourite junky.x

I almost can't believe this is real.

"Accuracy, that last refuge of the unimaginative, doesn't matter a hoot."

Pioneers of the dark art..(now peaked and it's almost passe)..

He introduced himself as sf writer... surprising...

What's the name of the piece in the background?

I cant believe it. U L T I M A T E

these guys are not flaming they are on FIRE

A verb a noun and a car crash. A verb a noun and a shopping mall. A verb a noun and JFK, I love JG Ballard's elegant style, but I have to confess, his 'ideas' are banal. 'The suburbs dream of violence.' Lol, wtf does that even mean?

Both incredible iconic artists of the 20th century!

How fantastic. Now lets find one where Picasso and Dali chat. I imagine they would start with tea and end with a slap fight.

People used to be capable of the art of conversation.

Duchamp said something along the lines of "give me the man not the art " ... the mundane everyday things a great artist does is often much more interesting, like stirring a cup of tea .

first handed a copy of Atrocity Exhibition (as well as a copy of Trout Fishing in America) when fourteen... saved me from having mundane thinking patterns set in...

Please, never discontinue your work

Beautiful work but how do you manage to always upload videos on exactly the thinkers I am currently interested in.

The music's great

Dear Burroughs Fans, you might have missed that a new book about and with him was published. its called "soft need 23", and includes a lot of fresh material by him, his colleagues and friends! It turned out amazing, check it out.

It's now 2024. Country Club? Perhaps it came and went. Abstraction? Certainly. The very fact I'm watching this 40 years after it was filmed, in my own house, on my computer, has to mean something.

BRILLIANT! Thank you!

This is very insightful, have you read Taleb?

This channel deserves way more attention. The information is given in a sharp and understandable manner plus the visuals are engaging and aesthetically pleasing.

Big butch bill 😂nearly went down for being a whoopsy 😮❤

do you think they ever kissed ?

Whoever uploaded this you're a diamond. When I was an art student at the start of the 80s, our polytechnic library had a new betamax video machine and they had tapes of arts related programmes that you could watch in a little side room. The 2 videos I remember watching the most were both from bbcs Arena arts programme. One was called something like 8 days in September and was a documentary about the British abstract artist John Hoyland struggling with a new painting over a series of days intercut with comments and interviews and the other was a fantastic documentary about William Burroughs which is now in the Criterion collection. I remember the brief section in the documentary where Burroughs is in concersation with Bacon (both creators I liked and was interested in), it lasts maybe 90 seconds, and I remember thinking how much I would love to see the rest of the footage that must have been shot. Over the last few years bits and pieces have turned up on TH-cam but stumbling across this in the early hours of this morning whilst, sleepless and full of a dreadful cold was such a treat. How rare it is to eavesdrop on to great artists chewing the fat and how much more interesting and candid are their remarks than what we will get in the majority of formal interviews that were conducted in their life time. As always with both of them there was much of interest but also at times very funny. So thanks again to the uploader a real treat and also quite touching..... Bacon seems genuinely fond of old Bill.
