The Order

The Dryden Theatre (at GEH) screened Matthew Barney's Cremaster Cycle this past weekend and I just got home from watching the last 2 films. During my second year at OCAD I found The Order for rent at Queen Video but was never brave enough to rent it/thought it best to see all the films in sequence.

When I found out all 5 were going to be screened this weekend I postponed my trip back to Toronto to stay here in Rochester (or as it was put this evening "the mole on the asshole of the world").

Myself and two others made it through all the films (liquor and homemade snack bags were essential). The footage, costumes and Barney's attention to detail are all stunning. After watching the Art 21 episode with Barney filming a scene in Cremaster 3, the one with the zombie horses, I thought he was a total jerk and dismissed him as some contemporary art asshole.

I was wrong, sorry.

My mind has been officially blown, period.
