- Matthew Barney's Cremaster Cycle
The NuArt says:
An epic masterwork, THE CREMASTER CYCLE is an evocation of the creative process by noted artist Matthew Barney. The five films, spanning genres and locales from a football stadium musical revue to a lyric opera in Budapest, encompassing a gothic Western, the Masonic secrets of the Chrysler Tower, and a motorcycle race along the way, were created out of chronological order, and each comprises a completely realized work in itself. Seen together and in numerical order, they travel from west to east to trace a metaphorical path toward fully developed form. Not available on DVD. Not now, not ever.
Murderer Gary Gilmore does the Texas two-step, Master Masons experience spiritual transcendence in the Chrysler building, and satyrs compete in motorcycle side-car teams. While these films have nary a word per half-hour, Barney's able to create a narrative that sucks you in with its eccentric motifs, highly researched and crafted detail, and carefully casted cameos. Screenings of these films are rare. Screenings of all five together? A one-off New York extravagance.
