Focus on Cremaster Order 3 From
Hmm, let me start out by saying that I saw the full theatrical release of Cremaster 3 at Sun Dance last year, of which this DVD is short excerpt from. If I were a real reviewer I’d probably cite various long standing references to Matthew Barney’s past work, and that oh what a provocative innovative artist he is and isn’t he so fabulous, etc, etc… I’ve heard all the yuppies talk about this cat like he’s the God of Art Noir. Where ever he got the cultural acceptance to do what he does in film, is a mystery, this stuff is wierd, man it’s WIERD. David Lynch has got nothing on this bloke. The whole of Cremaster 3 centers around a Mason initiation process, uh in the Chrystler building…sort of. Anyway, don’t bother with the plot, it’s so chaotic, and ridiculous, that it’ll make your head hurt. And speaking of film inducing migraines, the entire movie is scored by a cacophony of metal whines and screams, that will leave you banging your head against the tv to make it stop. So what is this movie good for? Style. Man this movie has style. Mr. Barney has a full impact car derby in the lobby of the Chystler building, it’s evil. This movie leaves a mark that a doctor can’t get rid of. So what is this particular excerpt about? uh, well, this actual excerpt plays like bad Monty Python skit, and it’ll leave you wondering what the whole point is. Well? there isn’t any ;it’s totally pointless. It’s eye candy, it’s wierd, funny, boring, and bloody. Somebody’s got to make this stuff. Right?
