Filmed in deep, rich black and white, this gorgeous work has been compared to David Lynch's ERASERHEAD. It is permeated with the sensations of a particularly vivid and perverse dream, or a fully engrossing hallucination. [More]

Reviews for Begotten
Plays too much like an earnest repertory-theater group going through various bizarro configurations.
A passion play that wavers between amateur-hour incompetence and an undeniable directorial vision.
I have said 'I have never seen anything like it' about other films, but it has never applied to something so entirely alien as this.
