Cremaster... what the hell just happened?
Nothing prepared me for this... The only thing I can say i'm sure is that the cremaster cycle is a disturbing and wonderful experience simultaniously.
I saw the whole cycle straight (2 breaks) in an overcrowded cinema, in lisbon (portugal) for 9 €, which i thought was cheap, and i can't stop thinking about it. i loved the images. my favorite was cremaster 5 (the most understandable, i guess), i also liked the mood of 1, 2 and 3. i can see the methamorphosis of sexuality, feelings. i can see characters indistinctive from the objects. i can see the destiny attached to the desumanized characters. the doom. just things existing. there's surrealism in every single frame. and i felt amost good in that dreamworld, because looks like you understand most of it more in a intuitive way than by racionalization. besides, this is Barney's personal dreamworld.
and i thought "eraserhead" was weird enough...
maybe barney inspired lynch in some way. i thought about "mulholland dr." all the time, mostly watching cremaster 3.
If you are just looking for the visual experience, this is the definitive thing to watch while high.
