| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisBarney'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. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineColourful and bewildering, creepy and strange. |
| DCistIan BuckwalterWhile the rest of the series is typified by lush, ornate visuals and often gorgeous cinematography, this is the only one that feels slightly amateurish, underfunded, and overly tedious. |
| Movie GazetteAnton Bitela tap-dancing satyr tunnels from one side of the Isle of Man to the other, while two motorcycles with testicular sidecars race in opposite directions |
| User ReviewJeff BThis was my intro to the Cremaster Cycle, so I'm not exactly sure what I saw in the theater, but it can certainly say I haven't seen anything like it before. It's a very interesting film, from what I gathered, a satyr (I think) tap dances on the Isle of Man and falls through the floor of a building into the ocean, then finds a way to the surface, all the while a car race is taking place. I have my own theory of what was taking place, but I'll go into detail later if anyone wants to know. But the visuals were certainly impressive and it's an extremely unique piece of filmmaking. Watching it, I couldn't believe some of the camerawork, how the scenes in the tunnels were filmed, the sets and acting, it was pretty awesome. |
| User ReviewSammi LDon't know where the videogames or gender issues really came into this film, however as with other instalments of the Cremaster films, number 4 remained weird enough throughout to keep the interest. |
| User ReviewCharles SThe first produced (despite its assigned number) on the Isle of Man, including a tap-dancing satyr, motor sports, vaseline spelunking, and... bagpipes! |
| User ReviewIhra LEveryman's Matthew Barney; simple images, non-glacial pacing. But, for all it's approachability, not as pretty as two or three. |
| User ReviewJohnny BCheap and transparent. Not bad organically though. |
| User ReviewAlex SHuh, so that's how it works down there. |
