    Begotten

    Has anyone seen this art horror flick from 91? I've heard things from it's boring pretensious crap to being so creepy that people couldn't sleep after watching it. The dvd is selling upwards of 60$ on ebay, wich i can't see myself spending on 1 movie. Does anyone have any opinions on it before I download it?

    Don't believe any of the bullshit behind this movie.

    The movie has a fantastic opening with God gutting himself with a straight razor and then Mother Earth collecting semen to get pregnant and give birth to Son Earth. It has great visuals and it actually gets across what it's trying to say as compared to the movie as a whole.

    The rest of the movie is just so damn unbelievably slow and just fails at delivering any message that had with constant scenes of Son Earth convulsing on the ground, extreme close ups so you can't even tell what your looking at.

    One of the worst experimental films I've seen. The triple reversal film stock gave the movie a great look, it's actually black and white, very grainy. There is no dialogue just sounds (when they're outside you hear the wind, birds, etc.) which also provided a nice touch. But all of that doesn't matter when the movie is unable to actually get its message across because you can't even tell what's happening half the time.

    There are much better experimental films out there.

    Pig (short film)
    Genesis (short film, not so much experimental but definitely needs to be watched)
    Un Chien Andalou (Luis Bunuel deserves more credit than he gets.)
    Rubber's Lover
    Singapore Sling
    Wedding Trough (aka The Pig Fucking Movie, a little weak but not bad)
    Blood of the Beasts (if you're offended by animals being killed then don't watch it)
    The Cremaster Cycle (if you find it you'll find it by the individual Cremasters)

    Anything by...
    Jan Svankmajer
    The Brother's Quay
    Alejandro Jodorowsky


    There's plenty more but there is a good start.

    Yes, they are just normal piglets. I forgot to mention though, once again if you are offended by animal cruelty then you should probably skip Wedding Trough aswell. It's not as graphic as 'Blood of the Beasts' with a cow and a horse getting their heads smashed in with a sledge hammer but the pigs are killed in the movie.

    I watched this years ago and remembered liking it. I started digging through my old DVDs and still have a copy, so maybe after I get off work in the morning Ill give it another watch.
