Summary: Experimental Barker
Review: This is early early Barker, at his most experimental. These two films are short and silent with a modern score overlaid. Transfers are rough, and scratchy, but that may be deliberate. If you've seen the AFI-Lynch shorts you know the mood of these pieces. I cannot make a general recomendation but for those of us with an unhealthy interest in Clive's work its a decent investment. Be warned though Redemption Video has an over-long and somewhat silly pre-movie video sequence that is basically an ad for their other releases.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Ann Taylor's memories of filiming Salome
Review: Weird to see this old movie of ours on DVD. This was filmed mainly in the basement of my sister's florist's shop in Liverpool where some of the paintings for the set are still on the walls. We seemed to recut and re film so many times over a period of years that I can't recall ever thinking that the movie was finished. Still there it is for you hardened Barker fans - would have been nice if they spelt my name right!!! Ann Taylor

Summary: hmmmmmm... stimulated - make that simulated SNUFF....
Review: Well Ladies and Germs! This one's for the ole man in da sky ... an odd but not disappointing first vision of Mr. Barker's sm and then some world. Salome counterpoints Nazimova's version quite cutely - now - the Forbidden? Reminds so much of other student efforts .......

Vaguely amateur - but piquant - so we must applaud?
