Review of Begotten

Begotten (1989)
7/10
Teenager's doom fantasy
6 September 2006
For me the movie was really familiar to see. When I was about 16 --17, I had just the same B/W fantasies. Especially if I was listening first albums of Soundgarden -- slow heavy monotonic rock. Or Sonic Youth. I imagined faceless strange people wandering around some wasteland doing something nasty, eating human flesh, digging in the dirt etc. I also imagined naked spastic men in the mud. And naked women with hairy pussies of course too. Everything have to be in slow motion, in extreme black & white aesthetic, in really apocalyptic mood. I had these ideas 15 years ago but I still remember. So I really laughed when I watched this pretentious movie and especially when I read the titles in the end of film: "God Killing Himself", "Mother Earth" and so on. Good "deep" movie for teenagers, nice alternative to every kind of plastic horrors.
