 Suede: Dog Man Star
"Dog Man Star", however, is very theatrical in the way the songs are very long and intense.
That Bernard Butler left the band after the recording of "Dog Man Star" took away some of the experimental identity of Suede.
Anyway, "Dog Man Star" is a great album that just requires a few more listenings to really sink in.

 [No title]
When it was first shown back in the mid-60s, this experimental feature with a prelude and four sections was widely regarded as Stan Brakhage's magnum opus, although it has surely been superseded by many major works since then.
Following a cycle of seasons as well as the stretch of a single day as a man slowly makes his way up a mountain, the film features multiple superimpositions and includes traces of splice marks, painting, and scratches on the film emulsion as some of its densely woven textures.
Mythological, cosmological, and physiological, like much of Brakhage's work during this period, it can be seen as one of the most ambitious lyrical films ever made--and also one of the most pretentious, for those who are inclined to view Brakhage's macho poetics as a trifle self-regarding.

Suede's `Dog Man Star' teeters frustratingly on the edge of greatness, but in the final reckoning falls short of being a landmark record.
However, the highpoints of `Dog Man Star' are the highest points the band ever reached.
The recording of Suede's second album was dogged by the increasingly fractious relationship between singer Brett Anderson and guitarist Bernard Butler, which eventually saw Butler walk out on the band before `Dog Man Star' was even finished.

 The Austin Chronicle Screens: Stan Brakhage: In Memoriam
The film most commonly called Brakhage's masterpiece, Dog Star Man, arguably represents the high-water mark of the "New American Cinema" movement that flourished in the 1960s.
Starring Brakhage, his wife Jane, their dog Sirius, and a snowy Colorado mountain, Dog Star Man is a rapturous, orgiastically beautiful viewing experience; the whole screen quivers and dances with flashes of fur, luminous sheets of pure color, glowing bare skin, galloping mountain vistas, blood, leaves, sun, and snow.
VHS copies of Dog Star Man are available through better video stores, but their blurry approximation of the film's sharp-etched imagery really only serves to give renters an idea of what they're missing.

By all accounts, the recording of Dog Man Star was plagued with difficulties -- Brett Anderson wrote the lyrics in a druggy haze while sequestered in a secluded Victorian mansion, while Bernard Butler left before the album was completed -- which makes its singular vision all the more remarkable.
As it stands, Dog Man Star is a strangely seductive record, filled with remarkable musical peaks, from the Bowie-esque stomp of "New Generation" to the stately ballads "The Wild Ones" and "Still Life," which are both reminiscent of Scott Walker.
And while Suede may choose to wear their influences on their sleeve, they synthesize them in a totally original way, making Dog Man Star a singularly tragic and romantic album.

 Prelude To Dog Star Man   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
It was hard to understand at first, but once I had a chance to think about the images, they began to make more sense to me. Brakhage was careful and deliberate with every scene in choosing the objects and images that he wanted to use.
This film was very colorful- much solar flare of stars and sun...lot so of shapes, the beating heart, woman with a baby, a man laughing and also much layering effect.
One common effect was the scratching and cracks of the film as it moved from frame to frame.

 Movie Info for Dog Star Man on MSN Movies

Has anyone seen the Bugs Bunny episode where they have a reference to Dog Star Man? I saw it at the beginning of the summer...Bugs Bunny gets thrown into space and a dog comes out among the stars and barks at him.
I saw "Dog Star Man" in a Experimental Film class at Rutgers U. It is very beautiful and is purely abstract, running time less than 10 min.
I was told he used two pieces of film, placed bug parts(wings) and organic matter(leaves and bark) between the film as well as scatching the film to create the images.

There's the usual assortment of talking head testimonials, of course, but you can ignore most of those.
Most important is the wonderful portrait of Brakhage himself, from both interviews and a generous selection of clips from his work, including such classics as Dog Star Man, Window Water Baby Moving, The Weir-Falcon Saga, and the infamous autopsy film The Act of Seeing With One's Own Eyes.
Though that last film is something of an anomaly in Brakhage's career--more documentary than diary--the title is key to what he's always been striving for in a variety of methods: a fresh way of looking at the world.
