Jerovi

About This Movie

Jerovi is a fascinating piece from the 1960s underground scene; it's got that raw, unbridled energy that you just don't see in mainstream films. The atmosphere is both dreamlike and intensely personal, merging eroticism with a deeper commentary on identity and beauty through its lens on the Narcissus myth. The pacing feels almost hypnotic at times, drawing you into Jeroví Sansón Carrasco's world, which is a brave exploration of queer and Latino narratives. It’s distinctive for its visual style and the way it plays with themes of self-love and longing, making it a notable entry in the queer cinema canon.

Jerovi remains a rare gem in the collectors' circuit, with very few original prints floating around. The film's history is tied closely to its financial backer and subject, Jeroví Sansón Carrasco, making it even more intriguing for those interested in the intersections of art and personal narrative. Given its underground status, finding a good quality copy can be challenging, which adds to its appeal in the collector community.
