Anyone heard of this? It's probably the most fucked up trailer I have seen for a 'movie', if this can be called a movie. Similar in wtf nature to 'The Cell', but times 10.
You can view it here:
http://www.cremaster.net/
There is some brief 'artistic' nudity in there, but in the same sort of context as you see here,
so if this is a problem I can delete the link.

makes a lot more sense if you think of it as:
Crem - Aster cycle
as opposed to
Cre - Master cycle.

"The title of the films refers to the muscle that raises and lowers the male reproductive system according to temperature, external stimulation, or fear. "
That's right up your alley of expertise, Julios

I was looking at some commentary. Here's a interesting one:
http://www.artnet.com/Magazine/features ... -11-02.asp
You get insights such as:
"Animated by homoerotic tension, the cremaster concept united penis, scrotum and anus into a powerful, if incomplete, alternative to the vagina."
I found this on IMDB:
"The tone of the video, however, is deceitful (for lack of a less harsh word), suggesting a story or plot that doesn't really exist, or is so buried in the visual splendor as to be insignificant. It could be seen as a puzzle, but, in Barney's own words (according to the DVD commentary of "The Order" segment of "3"), it is merely a series of illustrations of ideas that have already been well drawn out (ie. Freemason ritual"
