Markopoulos\u2019 vision transposes the legend to 1960s New York and has its main character abandon his mother for an elder man. Employing sensuous use of colour, the film radicalised narrative construction with its mosaic of \u2018thought images\u2019 that shift tenses and compress time. One of the touchstones of independent filmmaking,&nbsp;<em>Twice A Man<\/em>&nbsp;was made in the&nbsp;same remarkable milieu as&nbsp;<em>Scorpio Rising<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Flaming Creatures<\/em>&nbsp;by a filmmaker named \u2018the American avant-garde cinema\u2019s supreme erotic poet\u2019 by its key critic P.
