Review of Cremaster 2 (1999) by Josiah M — 31 Jan 2008
After a guy obsessed with bees has an orgasm, complete with honey as ejaculate, he gets them to perform in a music act with his drummer and vocalist friends. As the vocalist sings through the telephone, we see a man sitting in a car at a gas station listening through the car radio.
After writhing about for some time, the music goes away. Then a woman starts singing while hanging upside down, while the man seems to come to his senses. Eventually the man changes his clothes and then opens up his glove compartment to get a gun.
He holds up the gas station attendant, but dissatisfied with the few dollars in the register, he marches the attendant in the bathroom and brutally shoots him twice in the head. Next we see the man surrounded by law enforcement as he is let out to a bull riding ring.
Apparently he was sentenced to be a bull rider at a Mormon cowboy cult. Just a few miles away are Royal Canadian Mounted Police who get their kicks by trapping Houdini in a box. Houdini undergoes metamorphosis, however, and escapes only to find himself face to face with Maya.
To return full circle, it turns out that Maya is Queen of the Drones. Hexagons are found aplenty in this piece of art, as well as many other weird things.
