Wow- the ‘Closetland’ reference is a tough cut- I remember going to see that at the local art house theatre… only to be horrified. The way that movie dissects the use of abuse to shape the elite class… wow. It took years for me to understand what the hell was going on. I imagine that movie left audiences horrified and confused as it left out so many of the connections that would have built the context for the relationship between the characters… and I imagine had that connective tissue of narrative been in place it would never have made it out of production. Dang- the cat with green wings- what a potent pile of symbols that flick offered up.

Could the narratives be messages between British & American Intelligence, or even something along the old lines of coded instructions in a newspaper ad? You’ve eluded to it before in relation to Kubrick & Clockwork Orange; wonder if it was to show that they knew of these various schemes. Also, David Morell’s Brotherhood of the Rose features a sort of international spy hostel/ safehouse network thats similar to The Prisoner.
