Leave your thoughts about Cremaster 5.
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineSurreal and untouchable and yet it taps into a powerful sense of emotion. |
| DCistIan BuckwalterSome of the richest, most gorgeous imagery of the cycle, much of it taking place in a dark, baroque Budapest opera house. Holds the interest hypnotically, but may seem inconclusive for the concluding segment of such a sprawling work |
| 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. |
| Movie GazetteAnton BitelThis final 'Cremaster' film is the most static of the series, and will appeal most to fans of opera. |
| User ReviewDavid RMy favorite of the 5 Cremaster films. Dark and beautiful. The Bath scenes are breathtaking. |
| User ReviewKate T(Museum Exhibit) (First Viewing, 1st Barney film) I was wandering through the Tate Modern Museum in London this afternoon, and stumbled on an exhibit showing this film, and I jumped at the chance to see it (since I missed it when it played last year in San Diego). Reading the user comments over at IMDb, some says [b]5[/b] is the best of the cycle, others insist it's the worst of the lot. That I sat entranced for over an hour on a cold cement floor (and my rating) should indicate how I felt about it. But those of you who have seen the whole cycle, where do you think this one stands? Because if this is the worst of the bunch, I can't imagine how amazing the other ones must be! More in-depth comments later on this film, and the other two I rated today. I'm exhausted right now, and can't think. |
| User ReviewCarlos NCREMASTER 5 Por último, no episódio mais lírico, a `rainha` (a ex- bond girl Ursula Undress) canta uma ópera de amor e sacrifício na Ópera de Budapeste enquanto relembra o sacrifício de `seu` mágico amado em plena ponte de Lanchid no sec XIX. A procura da libertação final é visível mas a conclusão do ciclo fica adiada, apesar da descendência fisiológica ser agora uma evidencia e a diferenciação, total, segundo as palavras de Mathew Barney. Impenetrável e provocador, o ciclo `Cremaster` é uma obra que vale a pena descobrir e tentar compreender empregando uma postura , idêntica àquela que temos diante de uma exposição de arte contemporânea. Mas desaconselhável a espíritos pouco pacientes que apenas levam ao cinema o cérebro em `piloto automático`. |
| User ReviewSammi Lyup, more weirdness. But hey, that's art I guess. I'd give the cycle as a whole a 3.5 out of 5. Interesting stuff, just not for me. |
