When i first heard about Begotten around 5 or 6 years a go, i wasn't sure what to expect from it. It may be one of those films you need to see again to fully appreciate it. I watched it again last night, and with each viewing, i see a little more, and understand it more each time. This is one bizarre film.
Plot
The story opens with a robed, profusely bleeding "God" disemboweling himself, with the act ultimately ending in his death. A woman, Mother Earth, emerges from his remains, arouses the body, and impregnates herself with his semen. Becoming pregnant, she wanders off into a vast and barren landscape. The pregnancy manifests in a fully grown convulsing man whom she leaves to his own devices. The "Son of Earth" meets a group of faceless nomads who seize him with what is either a very long umbilical cord or a rope. The Son of Earth vomits organic pieces, and the nomads excitedly accept these as gifts. The nomads finally bring the man to a fire and burn him. "Mother Earth" encounters the resurrected man and comforts him. She seizes the man with a similar umbilical cord. The nomads appear and proceed to rape her. Son of Earth is left to mourn over the lifeless body. A group of characters appears, carry her off and dismember her, later returning for Son of Earth. After he, too, is dismembered, the group buries the remains, planting the parts into the crust of the earth. The burial site becomes lush with flowers. Source: Wiki.
Watch the film below. Viewer discretion advised.

I barely made it through this film once. All I saw was a lot of walking.

I definitely couldn't sit through this again. Some people saw a lot in it, but I wasn't one of them. Read about it and thought it sounded interesting, but it just made me bored and angry.

Never heard of it, but it's not getting a ringing endorsement.
