   Shown in the suitably opulent surroundings of the London Coliseum by the ENO, which has undertaken screenings since its loss of public funding, River of Fundament is the rarest of beasts: a phantasmagorical opera on film, dense with recondite knowledge and mythic horrors, that cost millions of dollars to make.

   Feb 12, 2014 · But River of Fundament is not exactly a film. It draws on a series of site-specific performances and elaborate happenings—live actions related to the project date back as far as 2007—and all of them, however cinematically presented in the end, fit as sensibly within the traditions of theater and opera.

   Is river of Fundament a joke?

   • In River of Fundament, that valve ekes out humor with punishing sparsity. It’s only a joke when Barney allows you to laugh. The film is also an exercise in time dilation. It asks you to accept that the film is moving relative to the viewer. And the film moves glacially slow—though it’s hard to pinpoint exactly why.

   • River of Fundament is not exactly a film based on a true story. It was inspired by Norman Mailer’s 1983 novel, Ancient Evenings, set in ancient Egypt and dealing with stages of reincarnation that come after death. The story would not seem to be eminently filmable.
