Synopsis
The Australian
Man of Flowers
stars
Norman Kaye
in the title role. A painter, Kaye has earned his nickname from his beautifully rendered flower portraits. He uses his artistic skills as a means of channelling his repressed sexual yearnings, especially his feelings towards nude model Alyson Best. When flowers no longer quench his carnal thirsts, Kaye expresses himself on his pipe organ, hammering out impassioned songs as a sort of musical cold shower. A flashback, which is meant to explain Kaye's hang-ups (but deliberately does not) features German director
Werner Herzog
in an unbilled cameo as Kaye's father. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
