Most of the readers here are probably aware of the film "Begotten" by E. Elias Merhige, but to those who have not, I highly recommend this film.  Very experimental, dark, beautiful.  I suppose the closest comparison would be Eraserhead, but that doesn't really do this film justice.  The director went on to bigger pictures such as "Shadow of the Vampire". 

The full film is here:

Does anyone know if there was a dvd released for the follow up film "Din of Celestial Birds"?

THE SKIN

cult.

but a little bit abused.

even used by people like Marilyn Manson

Agree, it had it's place at one time in my childhood.  For more interesting experimental films via experimental music, the Selektion Optik VHS tapes by Achim Wollschied / SBOTHI etc. are a must.
