Cremaster cycle
We went to see the Cremaster Cycle (episodes 4 and 5) in Sydney this weekend. How can something be so interesting but so tedious?
Thinking later: it's not a movie. There's no narrative. It is, as
Stephane said, art made with film
, not a film
.
If it was playing on a screen in a gallery it might be understood as
art
not film
, and one might look at it and look away and
find the repetition less tedious.
If you get irritated with double-quotes around art
,
film
and meaning
, this may not be for you. If you can
put handle that, you might enjoy Cremaster. The more I think about
it, the more I like it in retrospect.
