Saint is a tremblimg stream of associative images, depicting the execution of Saint Sebastian. Stormclouds approach omniously. Hands with strings entangle the body like snakes.
Fingers drill holes in the air like arrows.
The arrows strike wounds in Sebastians white skin. The boy collapses. A pearly tear falls. The stormclouds pour the first rain in Sebastians gaping, lifeless mouth and the crystal waterskin breaks. Like the people, plants and animals that appear in the film, the film stock itself felt as if it was organic, its very unpredictability enabling me to achieve richly contrasting tones.
