The conceptual departure point
of "Cremaster"is the male cremaster muscle, which controls
testicular contractions in response to external stimuli.
This is a self-enclosed
aesthetic cycle consisting of five feature-length films. The cycle
unfolds not just cinematically, but also through the photographs,
drawings, sculptures, and installations. The primary theme is
sexual difference. There are sequences that imply sex, gestation,
birth and death in symbolic ways. The director weaves a mythic,
self-contained universe that riffs on biology, cinema, architecture
and American history.

“Cremaster”概念上的出发点是男性的提睾肌,它的功能是在感受到外界刺激时控制睾丸的收缩。
这是一个封闭的美学循环系统,由五部长片组成。这个循环不仅是通过电影手法来呈现的,还有照片、绘画、雕塑和装置艺术。很多段落用象征的方法暗示着性、孕育、出生以及死亡。导演编织了一个穿插着生物学、电影、建筑和美国历史的神秘世界。
