Armand Weston, 1978, USA, 103 min
At a lavish party thrown by an unknown host, Linda (Leslie Bovee) happens upon a screening room where she views an ancient stag film from the 1920s depicting a very old man seducing a middle-aged woman. Later beside the pool, Linda meets the party's mysterious host, Darrin Blue (Wade Nichols), who invites her on a drive through the country to hear his incredible life story. Through a series of flashbacks set in the 1930s, 40s, 50s, and 60s—each emulating the cinema and culture of their era—but how has Darrin managed to stay eternally young throughout the decades?
An X-rated "take off" on Oscar Wilde's Picture of Dorian Gray, filmmaker Armand Weston's acclaimed Take Off is a delightful pop culture pastiche featuring a guest appearance by none other than Andy Warhol superstar Holly Woodlawn.
