Multiple director-personalities in the gay counterculture of the sixties

This movie differed very much from the other movies made by the great filmmaker Lionel Soukaz in that it seemed to be made by two totally different person's at once: as this movie was made in four parts for some crazy reason, the first and the third part were fascinating whereas the second and the fourth seem to be coming from someone more deranged of mind, more childlike. It makes the viewer wonder if this was really what the director wanted to say with his movie; that, perhaps, he had multiple personalities in his head telling him what to do. Definitely the history of the gay culture is interesting as is the whole chapter about the gay counterculture of the sixties, but those other two parts, really: what were they all about??? And what was Mister Soukaz thinking?! The answer, as with all his movies, is to be found within the self of the viewer at hand.
