Still from Matthew Barney's River of Fundament (2014)
With the current heat wave Portlanders have an excellent opportunity to wait out the heat while taking in a marathon of screenings of
Matthew Barney's River of Fundament. The two part film is an opera-scale cycle involving Norman Mailer, an Egyptian quest for immortality, mixed with an undercurrent of majestic American industry and landscape this is a challenging commitment to watch (for mature audiences). Is Matthew Barney the USA's 21st Century Picasso or a bloated and excessive caricature of himself like Salvador Dali became?
