(Matthew Barney, 2019, United States, 135 minutes)

Arguably more straightforward than his renowned Cremaster Cycle or Drawing Restraint 9, Matthew Barney’s new film Redoubt finds him in something of a Herzogian mode in its depictions of the chaos and indifference of nature. Without relying on dialogue, Barney will remind you of the power of the visual language of cinema in a way that few of his peers are capable of.
