Sinopsis
ĀTMAN is a visual tour-de-force based on the idea of the subject at the centre of the circle created by camera positions (480 such positions). Shooting frame-by-frame the filmmaker set up an increasingly rapid circular motion. ĀTMAN is an early Buddhist deity often connected with destruction; the Japanese aspect is stressed by the devil mask of Hangan, from the Noh, and by using both Noh music and the general principle of acceleration often associated with Noh drama.
Film experimental y de culto que consiste en dos largas y minuciosas secuencias, en las que una criatura sobrenatural (Dios) da luz a la humanidad y un hombre solitario es torturado por misteriosas figuras con máscaras.

A finales de los 80, esta película dio a conocer al joven director Todd Haynes (Poison, Velvet Goldmine, I'm Not There).

Protagonizada por las muñecas Barbie, la película es una joya perdida debido a los enconados esfuerzos de la familia Carpenter por impedir su distribución y exhibición.

Estructurada en tres partes (Creación, Paraíso y La era dorada) y rodada en el desierto del Sahara, esta es sin duda la película menos convencional del director alemán.

La sensación resultante viene reforzada por una banda sonora con temas de Leonard Cohen, Mozart o la Third Ear Band

In Manhattan's Central Park, a film crew directed by William Greaves is shooting a screen test with various pairs of actors. It's a confrontation between a couple: he demands to know what's wrong, she challenges his sexual orientation. Cameras shoot the exchange, and another camera records Greaves and his crew. Sometimes we watch the crew discussing this scene, its language, and the process of making a movie. Is there such a thing as natural language? Are all things related to sex? The camera records distractions - a woman rides horseback past them; a garrulous homeless vet who sleeps in the park chats them up. What's the nature of making a movie?
An assassin fends off numerous attacks from her comrades, who are trying to move up in rank by killing off the competition.
Cremaster 5 (55 min, 1997) is a five-act opera (sung in Hungarian) set in late-ninteenth century Budapest. The last film in the series, Cremaster 5 represents the moment when the testicles are finally released and sexual differentiation is fully attained. The lamenting tone of the opera suggests that Barney invisions this as a moment of tragedy and loss. The primary character is the Queen of Chain (played by Ursula Andress). Barney, himself, plays three characters who appear in the mind of the Queen: her Diva, Magician, and Giant. The Magician is a stand-in for Harry Houdini, who was born in Budapest in 1874 and appears as a recurring character in the Cremaster cycle.

Pierrot is dazzled. But can the course of true love run smooth?
