I saw what I believe were parts 1 & 2.. If you like seeing abstract and sometimes ridiculous representations of simple concepts such as fertility, birth, and communion, this is for you. However, I couldn't wait to leave the theatre after seeing this IMHO.. Especially towards the end of 2 where there are what seems like a neverending sweeping shot of landscapes.. Torture. I would much rather watch Killer Clowns From Outer Space, or anything for that matter, to Cremaster. It might also be noted that whoever put this together is obsessed with goo/vaseline type substances.

I am not a big fan of Mathew Barney, but I think you have realize. before going to the movie, that you aren't going to see another matrix. Which in its own rights was a "ridiculous representation of simple concepts".

Seems to be to be a bunch of artsy bullshit from the preview I saw.
Oh he's wearing a goat mask and playing the piano, what a genius.

heheh.. indeed Andre..
Unfortunately I was coerced into going to seeing the movie without any prior knowledge of what I was going to see. I had no idea what I was in store for. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have gone.

The trailers for the movies end up looking better than the movies nowdays.
However there IS something creppy aout discovering at 20-something that you are the evil.

- lee_b0
no, just a lot of pretty poor films, bands etc. which people seem to flock to because thats whats cool/fashionable/what they're given.
just seeing a lot of it recently

The true art merit behind this film is to get people to sit down to watch it. If you are sitting down to watch it you should be getting paid!

some say it's overrated
i sorta like it
- Rodimus790
watching it requires much more patience than I possess.. It might not be so bad if it was reduced to a minute or so.. If you have ADD, don't even attempt watching this, I can't imagine the state you would be in afterwards, given you had to sit through all or it.

i sat through the entire "cycle" and rather enjoyed it. i'm not especially amazed at the concepts alone, but i respect the filmmakers ideas as an artist.
if you are impatient, or have tender buttcheeks... don't go.
- Rodimus790
niku- were the later parts of the cycle much better than the first 2?

I saw the Cremaster at the Guggeinheim and didn't really like it -- check my stupid review of it --

the 3rd was pretty good, but very very long. i think overall the 4th was my favorite, just because of the bizarreness of it.

I hate shit that suburban teens can rally around, like the movie Lost Highway.
