Shot in Nagasaki Bay on board a Japanese whaling ship, "Matthew Barney's visually spellbinding film is a work that might be described as the artist's Moby Dick." (New York Times) The film's theme is self-imposed limitation and continues outré artist Matthew Barney's interest in religious rite, this time focusing on Shinto. Barney's girlfriend Bjork co-stars and contributes the music.
