Краткое содержание
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.
Begotten is the creation myth brought to life, the story of no less than the violent death of God and the (re)birth of nature on a barren earth.
Мамаша мультимиллионера выбирает на телеконкурсе идеальную девственницу для своего сыночка, не составившую, однако, счастья ни ему, ни себе.

В этом фильме Уорхола показана жизнь нескольких ковбоев в маленьком городке средней Америки. Они скачут на лошадях, занимаются сексом (и гей-, и гетеро-), издеваются над женщиной , пребывают в скуке и ничегонеделаньи. Кто-то находит любовь, кто-то только удовлетворение. Но вся жизнь ковбоев скучна. Фильм поставлен самим Энди Уорхолом и в полной мере отражает его концепцию рафинированного одиночества: человек принадлежит другому человеку только в моменты соития, потом он принадлежит только себе.

Он рассержен… очень рассержен, так рассержен, что неожиданно его рука превращается в похожее на револьвер оружие и стреляет в скинхедов.
Психиатр рассказывает инспектору две истории из жизни транссексуалов и трансвеститов: как некто Алан сделал операцию и стал Анной, и как некто Глен страшится рассказать невесте Барбаре о своем хобби — облачаться в ангорские кофточки и шастать по ночам в облике Гленды. Параллельно некий ученый предупреждает зрителей: «Берегись зеленого дракона!»
Shot under extreme conditions and inspired by Mayan creation theory, the film contemplates the illusion of reality and the possibility of capturing for the camera something which is not there. It is about the mirages of nature—and the nature of mirage.

This project is to be told through three couples: young, adult and old. We do not know if the project is for a play, a film, a novel or an opera. The author of the project is always accompanied by a kind of servant. Meanwhile, two years earlier, an American civil servant meets with an elderly French couple who had fought in the Resistance during World War II, brokering a deal with a Hollywood director to buy the rights to tell their story. The members of the old couple's family discuss heatedly questions of nation, memory and history.

A lonely hairdresser watches the title sequence of "That Cold Day in the Park" then visits a local park to invite a down-and-out skinhead to his apartment.

The hairdresser has dreams and fantasies involving the skinhead, the skinhead returns to visit him, and then the filmmaker pays a call on the two men, exposing her brother as faking his silence and pretending a lack of sexual interest.

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?

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?
