About this product

Product Information

An acclaimed and controversial film that is a visual poem about metaphysics, Creation, the Death of God, and the birth of nature. 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.

    Oop surreal and extreme

    Begotten is an often sought aftwr out of pri t title that is a nice blend of surreal and extreme cinema. It is a silent art film geared towards arthouse cinema lovers the world over. Highly praised, this film certainly lives up to the hype behind it. For the true lover of film, this is a must for any collector. The movie on dema d dvd-r is a 1:1 copy of the original factory pressed disc and includes the trailer and writer/directors filmography. The print looks as pristine as this movie ever will in this format. Highly recommended.

    Reminded me of Super 8 Stag Films from the 30's,40's & 50's as well as Certain Silent Films !!!

    The Director shot this way on purpose !!! I didn't think it was anything special. Like Public Access Theatre Performance mixed with German Expressionistic Silent Films. With obscure shots you would see in Black and White Super 8 Stag Films of the 1920's, 30's , 40's & 50's. I've seen better production values from the Black and White Doctor Who Serials of the 1960's. It is like a Opera shot with the microphone muted and the camera lens is set at infinity. Sorry , but I'm disappointed again in those list of the most shocking films ever made. I had high hopes for Begotten.

  • Weird Art

    This is a very strange and visually engulfing film. A silent art film that is unlike anything else you will see. Not for the faint of heart as it contains some disturbing footage. I personally think that this is one the the coolest art films I've ever seen...for fans of horror and the surreal.

  • My search is over!

    I've been after this movie (at a reasonable price) for several years, and in all honesty thought for this price it would surely be a bootleg, but it's the sealed official release with booklet and everything, and plays on my UK (Pal) DVD/Blue Ray player. The film itself is a disturbing art house surrealist horror film, and one of my favourite movies ever made, unlike anything else I've seen, so glad to finally have it in a physical copy
