Cremaster 1

At 40 minutes, the shortest film in the cycle; though it is methodically paced, the colorful, confectionary visuals of its Busby Berkeley-style, football stadium-based musical revue move it along quickly enough.

Barney explores the creation of form in a universe that is by turns jaw-dropping, laughable, head-scratching, infuriating... but never less than unique.

Barney's outlandish mise-en-scène, forever emphasizing the organic, the amorphous, the massive, the adhesive, and the fluorescent in quite literal ways, also retains those very qualities in my memory.

Makes no sense but looks very intriguing with its repetitive shapes and colours.
