   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.

   Is 'River of Fundament' based on a true story?

   • 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.
