Our take

Quietly majestic, Matthew Barney’s latest film is a mythical reimagining set in the Idaho mountains that explores humanity within nature, with hints to American politics. Presented alongside the exhibition Matthew Barney: Redoubt at Hayward Gallery, which also features sculptures and engravings.
