And just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder...

Thanks to my friend Han Cholo for sharing the news about the new Matthew Barney film Drawing Restraint 9. Barney and his partner Björk have teamed up to star in the film together, as well as Björk writing the soundtrack. The pictures look really strange and mysterious, and the synopsis of the film seems even weirder.

In a harrowing liebestod which is the climax and centerpiece of the film, the Guests, locked in an embrace and breathing through blowhole-like orifices on the back of their necks, take out flensing knives and cut away each other's feet and thighs. The remains of their lower body are revealed to contain traces of whale tails at an early stage of development, suggesting rebirth, physical transformation, and the possibility of new forms.

1 ticket please!
