"16/67:20.Spetember" by Kurt Kren is easily one of the most disgusting short films I have ever seen and that's saying something.Again the film contains virtually no plot-somebody is drinking,then pissing and somebody is eating,then defecating.The images of defecating man are shown in unflinching detail.I have seen many extreme and controversial movies in my time,but I almost vomited during "16/67:20.September". The film is shot in black and white and it doesn't have any soundtrack or dialogue.It's edited very fast,like a music video and the photography is simply stunning.So if you are a fan of off-beat underground cinema give it a look-just don't forget your barf-bag.6 out of 10.

Pretentious Garbage Packaged As "Art"...
EVOL66621 April 2006
I guess I'm just not much on super-strange "experimental" art films. Just recently watched a bunch of the Otto Muehl/Kurt Kren short-films...and I just don't get 'em. I think of the 10 or so that I watched - all of maybe two of them contained any shred of artistic merit at all. This particular entry - 16/67 20. September - is probably the most blatantly obvious and artless of the bunch.
There are a bunch of scenes of someone eating and drinking then p!ssing and sh!tting in graphic detail...that's it...seriously...
I got absolutely nothing from this "mess". I don't see how this is art - but if you dig it, then you're probably a sick freak who deserves to be sh!t on. It's hard to "rate" something like this as it left absolutely no impression on me, therefore I'm only giving it a 1/10 - as it contained absolutely nothing that I would like to see in a film. Now if the guy would have eaten his own crap - I might've given it a 2/10...
