Cinematography Kenneth Anger

A woman dressed elegantly walks purposely through the water gardens at the Villa d'Este in Tivoli, as the music of Vivaldi's Winter movement of The Four Seasons plays. Heavy red filters give a blue cast to the light; water plays across stone, and fountains send it into the air. No words are spoken. Baroque statuary and the sensuous flow of water are back lit. Anger calls it water games.

Notes
A wonderful study of darkness and fountains in moonlight -- Anger said (in his commentary) that the title is a pun meant to suggest Feux d'artifice (Fireworks, see), obviously a reference to Anger's earlier 1947 film, Fireworks -- Added to the national Film Registry of the Library of Congress in 1993.
