A brilliant, alchemical wedding of word and picture.
[This film] captures McClure's poetry and transforms it in a psychedelic
alembic of lust, madness and desire. You must see it!
Ray Manzarek, founding member of The Doors
Absolutely amazing, one of the best short films in a very long time ... really cool, truly visionary

Curses and Sermons is a sensually deep laceration across the mind
Nic Saunders’ "Curses and Sermons" is a brilliant blend of psychedelic-cowboy-Americana.
Actor Philip Bulcock pops off the screen with Michael McClure’s poetry... singing louder then ever before.
Visually sumptuous - at times, stunning
A satisfying exploration of an enigmatic work … stunning visuals
Curses & Sermons is a wonderful tribute to Michael McClure, to the sixties, and to an American
movie genre that Saunders rightly sees as a perfect embodiment of a classic “beatnik” poem.
Most importantly, the film looks great and has wonderful performances
