There's a Derek Jarman film about St. Sebastian which is a long cinematic
poem about the joys of homoeroticism. I rather like it. On the other hand,
the "beautiful naked boy pierced by arrows" can be taken as a bit of a
cheesy metaphor for pederasty - I also find some of the s/m connotations of
erotic depictions of martyrdom rather creepy...
