Look at them: almost begging to be shot... death in the battlefield delivers them to the gates of Heaven faster than you'll be able to say, "Dum.""We won't be intimidated by thugs," they answer from their moral higher ground.They believe in the Apocalypse and the Anti-Christ... and maybe that is exactly what they deserve. Let's give it to them.Patti Smith, having raised photographer Robert Mapplethorpe from the dead, wants to stage a performance of La Chasse spirituelle, the lost manuscript of Arthur Rimbaud's. She hasn't discovered it, of course, she's winging it. But Mapplethorpe has other interests - namely, Syria. A mysterious love interest of Smith's from the pharmacy joins the loony couple, who are in for a very special treat.STUN was written out of respect for Russell Crowe in Gladiator, answering his call,"On my mark, unleash Mapplethorpe." ___They came to see a rendition of that lost masterpiece, La Chasse spirituelle...What they got instead: That vile photographer, back from the dead.It is so depressing! And it won't sell!Luckily, there's a touching love storybetween Patti Smith and a boy from the pharmacy.It's unreal. Dead bodies just don't heal.Neither do souls full of holes.
