Aroview: Biopic of photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, with Matt Smith portraying the brilliantly provocative photographer and gay icon.

“Matt Smith’s portrayal of the mercurial, brooding genius is nearly as provocative as Robert Mapplethorpe’s famous photograph ‘Calla Lilly’, elevating the film. ” ~CINEMA SIREN
