5.0 out of 5 stars Transgressive Fun, July 4, 2009

This review is from: Solar Anus Cinema (DVD)

Chicago-based filmmaker Usama Alshaibi is the modern master of transgressive cinema. The DVD "Solar Anus Cinema" collects nine of his female portraits filmed between 2001 and 2008, plus the longer narrative short film The Amateurs, produced in 2003.

For the portraits, Alshaibi films different women, including his wife Kristie Alshaibi, either fully nude, partially nude or in various stages of undress. But these aren't loving erotic gazes. There is a hint of performance art in the way the women writhe, gyrate and strut in front of Alshaibi's mostly manic camera that races around their bodies as if excited by each and every part of their form.

Each portrait is also imbued with either just a hint of violence or an explicit vision of it. Blood comes out through various wounds and orifices to remind the viewer that these visions of loveliness are real, physical beings.

"The Amateurs" is a longer short film with a story. It's a fictional comedy in which Alshaibi has cast himself as an amateur pornographer auditioning women to perform with his two male cohorts in front of a camera.

Most of the comedy of "The Amateurs" derives from the men being unable to fulfill Alshaibi's outrageous requests. While several moments of the film are laugh-out-loud funny, the precarious situations the men and women are placed in grows more-and-more uncomfortable and squeamishness-inducing, making for a complicated, unforgiving experience.

What can I say about this movie?
Well to start with it's not a whole movie...
It is many shortmovies, and all videos are very strange,
bizarr & Surrealistic... Some of the shorts I did not like at all..
They felt boring.. But some of them where great.

This is for people with taste for the extrem...
This is not for those with normal minds...

But I you are like me, (a little twisted) buy the movie and enjoy the "fun"

This is film like someone was told to do a CAMPY film in film school and they made an Academy Award worthy series of short films. Some of it you can't take your eyes off of like the girl chewing food that she keeps stuffing into her mouth! The three idiots attempting to make porn flick with "LOW BUDGET" people is GREAT! The cinematography and editing is well done. Having said all of this, this film is not for everyone! It is NOT a porn flick; however there is explicit sex and nudity!
