A followup to my post on Matthew Barney's Drawing Restraint 9 the other day: pretty much everything you might want to know about the film can be found here - including the entire soundtrack album by Bjork! It feels like Christmas all of a sudden.
The film itself, from what one can ascertain from the synopsis, sounds fairly astounding:
"Its core idea is the relationship between self-imposed resistance and creativity, a theme it symbolically tracks through the construction and transformation of a vast sculpture of liquid vaseline, called "The Field", which is molded, poured, bisected and reformed on the deck of the ship over the course of the film. Barriers hold form in place, and when they are removed, the film tracks the descent of form into states of sensual surrender and formal atrophy."
It only gets better from there.
The link this time is via Kottke.
