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?

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.
