Matthew Barney's legendary "Cremaster Cycle" was hailed by the New York Times as "An inspired benchmark of ambition, scope and forthright provocation for art in the new century." Nine years in the making, the five films that comprise the "Cremaster Cycle" came to a brilliant grand finale with a spectacular sequence at the close of "Cremaster 3" called "The Order". In "The Order", a death-defying race to the top of the Guggenheim Museum, Matthew Barney is a tartan-clad apprentice seeking Masonic redemption. Before taking on legendary sculptor Richard Serra, who tosses molten Vaseline down the Guggenheim's ramps, Barney must bypass a troupe of tap-dancing girl scouts, a pair of dueling hardcore bands, a ravishing model who transforms herself into a cheetah, and a cabor toss with a flayed ram in a dizzying mirror to the artist's fantasical "Cremaster Cycle".
