Chris Cunningham - Rubber Johnny dvd

Willsy · Post by **Willsy** » Mon Jul 04, 2005 11:27 am

Just got a mailshot at work from Magma books...deal mostly with design and culture related books, however the last page of the catalogue has a dvd section and there is this Chris Cunningham one advertised called "Rubber Johnny" which i had'nt seen before.

The review says that it comes with a 40page book and that the dvd is perverse and disturbing!!! Apperently its shot in night vision and is about an inbred's solitary existence locked in a basement with only a dog for company!

Features music by Aphex Twin...

Now I do like Chris Cunningham's work and was wondering if anyone has seen this and what they thought?

it's more about chris innit?
it's not an aphex twin video, it's an chris cunningham video with some aphex sounds in it.

Yeah i agree this is all to do with Mr Cunningham. I'm sure he had Aphex twins music because he is a mate, its appropiate to the subject matter and he was probably got him on mate rates

I really have to say i do like Chris Cunninghams work...the music videos i have seen of his are amazing...

Anyone know about the film he was meant to be making ages ago....think it was an adaptation of William S Gibson's sci fi book called Neuromancer or something like that.

Was it ever finished?

I did a review of Rubber Johnny on here a few months ago. Nice, but at only 6 minutes it's basically just a short music video. With no extras.
