In Vera Cruz in the 1940s, Nacho, an Indian, waits tables at Don Lázaro's café at Hotel Ofélia. He falls for Lola, an opium-addicted, alcoholic whore who's hopelessly in love with Gardenia Wilson, a masked wrestler who slept with her once but knows she's unbalanced. Don Lázaro warns Nacho about Lola, and Nacho knows his love will be unrequited, but he'll do anything, regardless of how degrading, to be near her. Lola, for her part, can be sadistic. Republican exiles who are regulars at the café encourage Lola's desire to assassinate Franco. Nacho in turn mixes this political mirage with his fascination with the plot of "The Mikado." Where do fantasies and obsessions lead? close

A three-minute long insight into the life of completely unusual people – a group of pacifists forced into hiding in the cellar of a ruinous house to escape a war tribunal. The difficulties of war are manly endured by the film’s characters. This film, like most of Yufit’s works, shows his love of 1920’s avant garde cinema, which was considered the highest pinnacle in cinematography. The director believes the art of moving pictures was more heartfelt before sound and colour. “The development of technologies is not a particularly positive thing for human existence,” says Yufit. —Arsenals Film Festival close

In the old, 20 years of unrenovated St. Petersburg apartment live an old grandmother and her bachelor grandson. The situation corresponds to the characters of the tenants: the grandmother has conditionally antique coziness, the grandson has a mixture of a computer, discs and spotlights, among which guests gather. If they do not arrange “heart-to-heart conversations”, they participate in a cool artistic orgy. One day in the life of this apartment fights with its “originality” in the air.

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. close

The first published work of Georges Bataille is the story "History of the eye", published in 1928 under the pseudonym accompanying all lifetime editions of this work, Lord Osh. In this story, the author seeks to show the unity of innocence and debauchery, love and perversion, unrestrained freedom and recklessly open in its absurdity eroticism, the mystical religion of rampant and sacrificial asceticism. Already here the theme of all further Bataev’s creativity is stated: having entered the silence of the language, having transgressed all boundaries, norms and rules, come out to meet the unknown, unfolding itself in the void of Nothing. “To others, the world seems to be good; it seems to good people because their eyes are castrated. So they fear shamelessness. They feel no anxiety when a rooster screams or a starry sky opens. In general, they like “carnal pleasures” provided they are unleavened. Georges Bataille, Hatred of Poetry, 1999, 73
This film is based on the distant motifs of Georges Bataille’s The History of the Eye. Regret in the film, to a greater extent, reflects the facts of copulation rather than their backstory.
In the finale of the film, the frame is interrupted and we observe darkness for a long time, according to the authors of the film, this is how it looks.

The anti-budget film Kado is a film permeated with Kafkaesque sentiments. Here, as in the stories of the famous writer, everything is built on absurdity, fear of the surrounding hostile world. This film is able to sow in the soul of the viewer a sense of anxiety, homelessness.
The main character of the film "Cado" is a lonely "white collar", an office plankton that attracts a gray and dull existence. Every day like his twin brother is like the day before. Dirty shabby apartment, ridiculous and boring paperwork, poor scrambled eggs for breakfast - hopeless everyday life, they have no end.
One day the hero wakes up and realizes that everything looks and happens differently, something has changed. Perhaps his inner self has come into conflict with nauseating reality. Now he is either half asleep, or half awake. The viewer cannot fully understand whether the main character died or simply moved to another, parallel world. Anxiety contributes to the open finale of the film. The genre of this film does not lend itself to unambiguous definition – it is fiction and grotesque, surrealism, bitter irony, a symbolic denunciation of the realities of modern society. close

“Metamorphosis”, created according to the novel Franz Kafka , is an arthouse film by Stephen Berkoff. The project was intended for television, it is “built” in the form of a play, in which, as in the novella Kafka, there is more than one transformation.
So, Gregor becomes a beetle, and from a person to a “pathetic insect” all impulses, feelings and emotions pass. The sympathies of the most dear people are transformed into horror, betrayal, complete indifference. The sister “reincarnates” into an independent woman, who leaves the desire to care for a parasitic relative.
The film starred Linda Marlowe, Saskia Reeves, Stephen Berkoff and others. close

The protagonist of The Wooden Room is a director of documentaries, who lives with his wife - who is as stoic as he - in an isolated hut in the woods. The director is obsessed by filming marginal events in life. The closer he can get to these events with his camera, the more he becomes involved with them. In the end he falls victim to them. The film, with no dialogue and hardly any sound, is an experimental meditation on the complex, continually-changing relationship between a film-maker and his subject. close

CREMASTER 2 (1999) is rendered as a gothic Western that introduces conflict into the system. On the biological level it corresponds to the phase of fetal development during which sexual division begins. In Matthew Barney's abstraction of this process, the system resists partition and tries to remain in the state of equilibrium imagined in Cremaster 1 ... close
