RIVER OF FUNDAMENT – A FILM BY MATTHEW BARNEY

Posted on 2014-06-30

This radical reinvention of Norman Mailer’s novel Ancient Evenings is an epic story of regeneration and rebirth, set in three major American cities – Los Angeles, Detroit and New York. A collaboration between visual artist Matthew Barney and composer Jonathan Bepler, the film was conceived as a contemporary opera that combines traditional modes of narrative cinema with filmed elements of performance and sculpture. Barney reconstructs Mailer’s hypersexual story of Egyptian gods and the seven stages of reincarnation alongside the rise and fall of the American car industry.

River of Fundament features a notable and diverse cast, including actors Maggie Gyllenhaal, Paul Giamatti, Elaine Strich and Ellen Burstyn. An eclectic group of musicians include avant-garde vocalist Joan La Barbara, percussionist Milford Graves, and baritones Eugene and Herbert Perry. In addition, the film features characters from Barney and Bepler’s previous collaboration Cremaster 3, including characters played by Barney and Aimee Mullins.

COLD IN JULY

Posted on 2014-06-24

While investigating noises in his house one balmy Texas night in 1989, Richard Dane puts a bullet in the brain of a low-life burglar, Freddy Russell. Although he’s hailed as a small-town hero, Dane soon finds himself fearing for his family’s safety when Freddy’s ex-con father, Ben, rolls into town; hell-bent on revenge. However, not all is as it seems. Shortly after Dane kills the home intruder, his life begins to unravel into a dark underworld of corruption and violence. Twists and turns continue to pile up as the film reaches its inevitable destination: a gore-soaked dead end. Michael C. Hall brings a shell-shocked vulnerability to his portrayal of Dane that contrasts perfectly with the grizzled “badasses” portrayed by Sam Shepard and Don Johnson.
