Bruce Conner "Mea Culpa" (w David Byrne and Brian Eno)


"Mea Culpa" (1981)
Bruce Conner

This is a Bruce Conner film called Mea Culpa.  It was a collaboration between Conner and musicians Brian Eno & David Byrne.  The voice is sampled from an "inflamed caller and smooth politician replying,  both unidentified. Radio call-in show, New York, July 1979."  --What're you saying? He said "I'm sorry, I committed a sin, I made a mistake. I asked (?????) to forgive me... please forgive me." He said "Mea Culpa," can you put it better? "I'm saying I'm sorry, I made a mistake, I made... I committed a sin, I made a mistake. And I'm never gonna do it again, I never did it before and I'm never gonna do it again."
