6 art films by Matthew Barney.
Each film is unique in it's strangeness, let alone each scene. There is always something crazy happening or the craziness is in the inaction.
These films take up lots of time. There are 6 of them at around an hour each. If you are not really into crazy cinema, stay away or you will be bored out of your mind. Everything happens very slowly. This isn't the Alejandro Jodorowsky type of "POW! it's crazy!", this is more restrained and organized. Some of the scenes are cool like the death metal song consisting of a drummer, vocalist and swarm of bees. There is also freemasonic symbolism that is overtly used. I am unsure of the meaning of this as to whether the filmmaker was mocking this or was a part of freemasonic rituals. Be aware that there is sex and nudity in the film. There is a car scene that is AWESOME! One car is destroyed by other cars and when they run out of destruction, they destroy eachother like a destruction derby. I hate cars, so this was my favorite scene. I'm rating it adequate because it's crazy, but I still haven't quite wrapped my head around it and may never do so.
