 Splendid: Departments: &: The Work of Director Chris Cunningham
As a result of this deliberate career trajectory, Cunningham's body of work is so far infused with a kind of clear-headed and specific focus that eludes the prolific, years-long brainstorming sessions that characterize other directors' legacies.
In Cunningham's most infamous videos, the pair of twisted "branding" efforts he directed for the Aphex Twin, he expands on his fascination with how anatomy limits, defines and fucks up human experience by adding gender to the equation.
Cunningham's studies of anatomy can also be weirdly beautiful, as on this DVD's two highlights -- videos for Portishead's "Only You" and Björk's "All Is Full of Love".

 Slant Magazine - DVD Review: The Work of Chris Cunningham
Cunningham's best clip may be Madonna's "Frozen." As a witch lost in an unidentified desert landscape, the pop singer gets to turn into a scary-as-shit Doberman and, then, a flock of crows in a matter of minutes.
Chris Cunningham works in a clinical digital realm that's as loud as it is sleek.
This short but nifty doc acknowledges Cunningham's childhood fascination with machines and reveals how he was able to fulfill that fantasy with the help of Björk's lily-white outlines.

 PIXELSURGEON | Reviews | Movies | Rubber Johnny
Chris Cunningham is one of the most sought-after filmmakers today thanks to his original, unique vision and collaborations with artists such as Björk, The Auteurs, Leftfield, and Squarepusher.
Aphex Twin and Cunningham collaborated again when James recorded the score for Chris Cunnigham's short film Flex, exhibited as part of the Apocalypse exhibition at London's Royal Academy in 2000.
Like most of Cunningham's oeuvre, Flex was a study in anatomy, bodies and exploring—pushing—the boundaries between surreal darkness and disturbing horror.

 IGN: Director's Series, Vol. 2 - The Work of Director Chris Cunningham Review
Chris Cunningham frightens me. The guy in a visual genius, for sure but whereas one might leave a video from his Palm partners Gondry or Jonze smiling, much of Cunningham's work walks a line between beautiful and incredibly unsettling.
Being a 12 Rounds fan I was disappointed by the absence of Cunningham's video for "Personally" and during the DVD menus, please disregard any images of cats and dogs playing the guitar, because the video in which they appear also exists only as a footnote in your 52-page booklet.
Cunningham has obviously taken much effort to make each of his films achingly clear, and in fact you will probably walk away from this collection remembering how crisp everything looked as much as anything.

 Microcinema DVDs - Work of Director Chris Cunningham, The
In August 1997 Chris realised a long-term desire to collaborate with Richard James (the Aphex Twin) and directed the video for the single "Come to Daddy" through the production company RSA / Black Dog Films who he had recently joined.
In 1999, Chris set about undertaking what has become one of the most memorable music videos created, Bjork's, "All Is Full Of Love." Some two years after its release, this is still one of the most sort after videos for music, film, art events and galleries around the world.
Chris is currently locked away concentrating on producing a DVD title consisting of a collection of original works in both sound and picture, along with the odd musical collaboration with the likes of old favourites Aphex Twin and Squarepusher with an intended release of end of 2003 beginning 2004.

Although I tend to be wary of exhibitions that come with a warning (as this one did), suspecting the artist and/or gallery of wanting to promote sensationalism, to be suspicious of flex would be to trivialise one of the most thought-provoking videos I have ever seen.
Both the man and woman have very fit, muscular bodies and their interaction is predicated by the white light - at some points they seem to be interrogated, their actions and violence towards each other seem to be caused by this light.
Cunningham is an experienced maker of videos in the music industry who has brought his expertise and vision into the art world.

Chris Cunningham, one of the most influential filmmakers of the last decade, has been at the forefront of innovation and an inspiration for technological boundary-breaking world wide, even having so far only made a handful of music videos and shorts.
Cunningham first forged his relationship with Warp Records in 1995 with his debut promo “Second Bad Vibel” for Autechre, and since has directed a score of mind-bending videos for the likes of Squarepusher, Bjork, Madonna, Portishead and most memorably, Aphex Twin.
With much anticipation from his legion of fans, Cunningham is finally turning his attention to feature films and is currently developing a feature length script with Warp Films.

Some of Cunningham's shock effects are horrifically effective (his 'flex" video installation, excerpted here with music by Aphex Twin, is as disturbing as anything conjured by David Cronenberg), while others are cathartic or, in the case of Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker," outrageously amusing.
Chris Cunningham, who is my favorite director out of the three on the boxed set, tends to have videos that also appeal heavily to the eye but aren't as deeply saturated in visual tricks.
Cunningham is the pivot that links the three directors together as is each of their ability to make memorable videos.

 PIXELSURGEON | Interviews | Art | Chris Cunningham
Rubber Johnny, Chris Cunningham's new short film is six minutes and ten seconds of fucked up terror that fuses the music of Aphex Twin with his own unique visual style (see our review here).
The titular Johnny is a mutant kid stuck in a wheelchair who is shut in the dark by his parents and amuses himself and his pet dog by shape-shifting and raving!
Chris himself plays the part of Johnny and the film itself became a kind of side project that evolved out of a 30 second promo for Aphex Twin's Druqks and took several years to complete for both the shooting and the editing.

 Culture Bully » Chris Cunningham: Video Retrospective   (Site not responding. Last check: )
With his recent buzzworthy video for The Horror’s “Sheena Is A Parasite” Chris Cunningham proves once again to make something stunning out of something mediocre.
It made me think of which other Chris Cunningham videos that I felt were impressive despite a luke-warm song; sometimes it is the video that makes the radio star, I thought.
It is entirely stripped down, as far as Cunningham’s work goes, but to do otherwise, given that it is in fact a Madonna video, would come off as unnecessarily arrogant and over the top.

from the moment i hit "play" and heard the distant siren leading into the distinctive guitar riff; the soft vox and harmonium; the tabla and chris cunningham's emotion-laden voice telling a captivating tale in "walking into the lightning", i knew i was hooked.
chris cunningham offers a unique style of somewhat jazzy, folky, acoustic-based, highly poetic, impressionistic songs.
it's the running, plucked guitar arpeggios that immediately attracted me to chris' stories and the deft "cut and paste" assembly of images drew me in further and further.

The boy, whose anatomy is largely composed of the filmmaker’s genitalia - at least, in the book of photos that comes with the DVD release - has quite a time in the dark cell where he’s locked away from the sensitive eyes of the outside world.
While he has a knack for getting adult fingers wagging, the desire to tap the fears and free imagination of childhood is at the heart of Cunningham’s creative process.
