138. Cremaster 1 (Matthew Barney, 1996)
It’s not often I sit down in a theater and become completely entranced by a film’s opening scene, but Matthew Barney’s Cremaster 1 got me. The entire film is pretty damn excellent - with the exception of some really terrible mid-nineties computer graphics - and the way it just throws genitalia at your face without actually exposing any nudity is perfect. Many of the scenes in this one play out just like a Busby Berkeley musical with a lot of segments reminiscent of Kubrick’s slow and silent work. Seriously - there’s not a line of dialogue in the movie and it’s all the better for it. Some might find a few moments a bit repetitive, but there’s something just truly appealing about simply watching these Goodyear women doing their thing - whether there are an abundance of sexual implications or not.
