[quote]"A lovely, poetic, humorous and crystal investigation of mankind standing, sitting and lying down." - John Wasserman, San Francisco Chronicle
"James Broughton adroitly blends anatomical tableaus and pantomime, simulating everything from sexual harmony to plain everyday desk slump. The cast parades around in jaybird comfort. The picture is funny and ever so wise." - Howard Thompson, The New York Times
"A superb control of the cinema medium with a visual richness and an elegance approached by no other film viewed by the judges." - Bruce Conner, Maurice Girodias, Arthur Knight, First Erotic Film Festival
"THE GOLDEN POSITIONS is a rich, warm, clear statement of humanism. There is no angst, no fragmentation, no overt experimentation. It stands apart from most of the films of the past two decades by its feeling of certainty, positiveness, and completeness. And, most importantly, THE GOLDEN POSITIONS gives us a deep and restful pleasure in the viewing." - Sheldon Renan
Awards: Grand Prize, Bellevue Film Festival, 1970; First Prize, First Int'l Erotic Film Festival, 1970

[quote]"TESTAMENT is James Broughton's exquisite self-portrait. A major figure in avant-garde filmmaking and poetry since the 1940s, Broughton views his life and life's work with irony, charm, humor, and a combination of joyous self-love and gentle self-depreciation. Scenes from his earlier films mix the elements of humor, magic, slapstick, melodrama, and romance which mark his aesthetic. A plethora of rich personal symbols is woven throughout the film, tied together by verbal games, Zen poems, anecdotes, songs, a child's prayer, dreams, and visions." - Karen Cooper
"James Broughton's TESTAMENT is one of the most remarkable films ever produced within the American independent cinema. It is the most moving and most sublimely detached of the recent trend of filmic autobiographies - by Jerome Hill, Jonas Mekas, and Stan Brakhage, to name only the masters, and Broughton's peers." - P. Adams Sitney
"A beautiful, important, mysterious work." - Amos Vogel

[quote]The music, scored for flutes and gamelan, was especially composed by Lou Harrison. DEVOTIONS is the vision of a world where men have forsaken rivalry and taken up affection, thereby creating a society that relishes a variety of comradely devotions.
The film takes delight in observing the friendly things men can do together, from the odd to the rapturous, from the playful to the passionate. These events appear in a series of cameo duets performed by men of all ages and appetites.
The tapestry of changing scenes is strung on a narrative thread: the personal romance of the two makers of the film, as they discover their own affections and interweave them with those of their friends. In the end they assert their hope that loving comradeship may yet be the happy norm for the world.
The film was made over a nine month period on locations from Seattle to San Diego, and included the participation of some forty-five couples. [/quote]

[quote]Images, Joel Singer; Poetry, James Broughton; Music, Lou Harrison.
This is a cinematic performance piece enlivened by its experiments in poetic speech and poetic vision. Joel Singer creates a multi-faceted portrait of poet James Broughton acting out his verses in unlikely situations and surprising camera inventions. In the course of this divertissement the poet probes the puzzlements of mortality, destiny and the magic of language.
"A true wonderpiece and remarkable portrait." - Michael McClure [/quote]
