Holes on the Neck (1994)



Holes on
the Neck

 

G.X. Jupitter-Larsen is a filmmaker who creates strange art films.  They aren't really intended to follow the standard linear path of most of the movies that you would watch.  In fact, I don't think you would even call these films 'movies' because they don't tell any kind of story and often they weren't even created to entertain as much as to make a statement.  For example, between 1982 and 1986, he submitted a blank video tape (yeah, totally blank) to over forty film festivals and nine of them screened the tape (and you thought you felt bad because the festivals wouldn't screen your movie before!)  Rather than being movies, these films are pieces of art.  In 2007, Icefactory Productions & Troniks released a DVD of selected short films from G.X. Jupitter-Larsen's collection stretching from 1983 to 2006.  The DVD is entitled Cinema Noise.  One of the ten films on the DVD is a 15 minute short film called Holes on the Neck


Although Holes on the Neck isn't really about anything, there are elements that tie the images together.  There isn't any story that I can make out.  There are just random shots of glorious black and white footage edited together.  Like the other films on the Cinema Noise collection, Holes in the Neck has audio noise that doesn't relate in any way to the accompanying video.  The bulk of the video content is made up of lesbian vampires.  At times, they are making out with each other or working in their garlic garden or biting each other or standing there naked breaking eggs on one lesbian vampire's head and smearing the contents all over her naked body.  If you're looking for an engaging story, this isn't the film for you.  However, if you have a lesbian vampire fetish and an egg fetish, this may be the film of your wildest dreams.  You can find some of the crazy art, poetry and film of G.X.
