Juan F I saw this movie for the first time back in 2012 and since then I enjoy very few movies. After reflecting upon this for many years I think that it is a matter of how Barney allows time to flow in each scene, so much more naturally than most movies do. Each scene unfolds slowly, completley, which is actually the way that things happen. Since experiencing this movie, most other movies seem too hurried, everything happens so quickly and it just kills them for me. I still enjoy the likes of "Before sunset" where it´s just one long camera shot and conversation, that seems real. I still have some favorite hollywood pics, for sure, but in general I just stopped being able to digest the fast paced narratives of most. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Werner Herzog said: "We are surrounded by worn-out images, and we deserve new ones". Cremaster is one of those films that provides exactly this. Mind blowing visual poetry.

Giving it a rating is actually pretty futile, come to think of it, since I'm not sure you can even rate films like these. Bizarre, unconventional, disturbing, amazing, surreal, boring, shocking - all fits but also defies easy labeling and description. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not really possible to review this film - certainly not in comparison to any other film - because it's not, it's artwork. As a film it makes no sense, but as art, well, it's probably a masterpiece. There are some incredible scenes; beautiful colours and sets, and fitting music. Three hours with no real speech, other than the odd spot of singing, doesn't make it easier to understand, but speech would have totally ruined the eerie atmosphere. There are shocking moments, amusing moments, disturbing moments and, of course, lots of very, very weird moments! This film makes Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" look decidedly normal, and Bunuel's "Phantom of Liberty" - pah! - completely linear! Director Michael Barney has certainly achieved what he set out to achieve, and for that I can only give this the thumbs up!
