"As affectionately remembered by the poet and rocker Patti Smith, who
once lived with Mapplethorpe, and by art-world luminaries in New York
and London who speak in grander, chillier tones, Wagstaff and
Mapplethorpe were a diabolical power couple who lived and died in a mad
pursuit of aesthetic perfection and erotic sensation. Ms. Smith loved
them both, and her tender recollections give the movie, narrated in
lofty memorial tones by Joan Juliet Buck, a necessary thread of warmth."
