Drawing Restraint 9

Bjork, Hisashi Fujita, Matthew Barney, Mayumi Miyata, Naomi Araki

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.

    Pretty pictures at 24fps. And Ronit hates it! All you could want in a movie except plot and characterization.

    Incredibly and beautifully complex. Don't expect a 'spoon feeding' literal plot. Watch it ten times over if you want.. don't bother deciphering the various "this and thats" throughout the film.. null.
