Warpfilms Release Chris Cunninghams' "Rubber Johnny" May 16th 2005.



In both NTSC and PAL editions, including a 40 page booklet of original drawings and photographic work... it may only be 6 minutes long, but it's 6 minutes of pure genius : the man behind videos from Aphex Twin, Squarepusher, Placebo, Jesus Jones, Leftfield, and Portishead to mention just a few.

Warp says it, "..documents a 16-year-old, inbred mutant's solitary existence, locked in a pitch-black basement by his ashamed parents. They are TV addict rednecks who occasionally feed Johnny and yell at him for making noise. Johnny's only company in the basement is his little dog. His dog's I.Q. far outstrips Johnny's, who is a completely insane, bi-polar imbecile."

Hopefully this piece will expand into the promised 10-part TV series. I for one have been looking forward to this for ages. Maybe years. Can't remember.

You will be able to buy it through Warpmart nearer the release date.
