This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
... View MoreAll of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
... View MoreThe idea that Anger might be messing with dangerous forces here, and roping the viewer (without asking) into a dark ritual, is cool. The soundtrack is not like anything else I've heard, perfect for trance induction. And who cares what one thinks of Anger's preoccupations (and possible problems)? Just to witness them in such an overt display is fascinating - the murky deep end of confessional art. Ugly, messy. Upsetting. And so refreshing now amid so much commercialism, safety, and p.c. nothingness. Featuring: an albino, a future murderer, drug use, male nudity, cat parts, the U.S. military in Vietnam, Nazi symbolism, and a lineup from the Church of Satan.
... View MoreThere is a child 3:52. Does anyone know who that is? Also there's a man seen at 9:51, 9:54. He's in a kaleidoscopic scene between 9:58-10:16. A B&W flashing shot between 10:21-10:30 & seen at the end between 10:39-10:45. Who is that man? This is what I really wanna know. Thanks people! now the review...............................................................iTHINK it was GREEEEEEEEEEAT!My sister thought it was so weird & her daughter almost got flash male privates! LOL. That made her mad so I watched the rest at home. My BF showed me it. He's is the one who has got me interested in who the boy & man in the short was. All the symbols & stuff are enthralling. I think it's a trance video. The actually Jagger music could put me to sleep. When u listen with Ur eye & hear with Ur ear..Zap! Ur pregnancy! O.O LOL JK! No, but the imagery says a lot...That reminds me of school days. A girl asked what I was drawing, asked if I was a wiccan. I have no prob with wiccans but this girl thought she exposing me in some way. I told her by the end of tomorrow her mother would die & the dumb girl believed me! I should have wrote a note that said: Zap! Ur pregnant. That's witchcraft!
... View MoreDon't listen to the guy above, since he thinks all art films are supposed to hold your hand, and tell you what to think and believe. This film is obviously an artifact of subjective, artistic expression (like all real art usually is). But I happen to think it's genius. Just because I don't like the images (which I in fact do) doesn't dis-validate it as art. Art is not for entertainment, as it is the allowance of the artist to express themselves in a certain language/form/deliverance.This film can be interpreted as a view on the artist's fascination with the occult, life, or just certain images in general. Some parts remind me of how sensitive we are to certain images, and so on. Every film isn't like Hollywood, tied up with a neat little bow, were can all hold hands and skip down the yellow brick road. Sometimes, it portrays what goes on the psyche of certain people. Look at Jordorwosky, for instance.
... View MoreA very strange film. The sound track - done on a Moog synthesizer - is repetitious and droning, which adds to the atmosphere, though can be annoying if you're not "into it". It's creepy. There really isn't a lot to say - only watch this film if you understand what you're getting into. By far more creepy and off-putting than most modern Hollywood horror films, in part because the film style gives it a more immediate presence. The cinematography isn't polished, the sound and setting aren't polished, but that's half of what makes it work so well.
