Reviews for Cremaster 3
If it sounds like too much, it is. But in Barney's world, more is always better, and getting to wherever it is he's going is an insanely beautiful trip.

Attempting to sum up the scope of Matthew Barney’s epic in a few words is like trying to shove the history of existence through a scrotum-shaped pinhole.
01/14/04
the longest and last of 'the Cremaster Cycle' is also Barney's crowning masterpiece.
02/02/04
Not since Ghostbusters has a film used Manhattan's architecture in such a gloriously goofy way.
05/30/03
This epic film, eschewing dialogue and conventional narrative logic, tells a gripping tale of biological drama through a highly improbable series of evocative images, superb acting and editing, and haunting music.
04/29/03
Matthew Barney makes Peter Greenaway look like Joel Schumacher.
05/07/03
Brings to a spectacular completion one of the most complex, generous and subversive artworks of the last decade.
05/14/03
Matthew Barney's five-part, out-of-sequence Cremaster Cycle culminates with Cremaster 3, his most accomplished work to date.
06/07/02
Awesome work: ineffable, elusive, yet inexplicably powerful

Cremaster 3 is at once a tough pill to swallow and a minor miracle of self-expression.
06/19/02
The hypnotic imagery and fragmentary tale explore the connections between place and personal identity.
06/12/03
An enthralling aesthetic experience, one that's steeped in mystery and a ravishing, baroque beauty.
06/19/02
"Cremaster 3" requires repeat viewings or fungal accompaniment of a magical nature, yet the film is completely mesmerizing.
05/17/03
It is either an unparalleled opportunity to witness the work of an artist proclaimed by some the 'most important American artist of his generation.' Or an obligation to witness the work of the artist etc., etc.
08/01/03
You might doze off from time to time, but what you see when you wake up has the potential to scar you for life.
07/16/03
Barney has created a tour de force that is weird, wacky and wonderful.
06/19/02
Personifies experimental filmmaking pushed to new extremes.
08/29/03
Extremely accomplished filmmaking that's only in need of an editor. And perhaps a coherent story.
