Uncut
John Greyson, director.
Canada, 1997, 16mm, 90 min.

The irrepressible John Greyson (Zero Patience, Lilies) returns with a fabulously audacious new film, starring Matthew Ferguson (The English Patient). Combining Greyson's take on the controversial practice of circumcision with a fierce analysis of copyright infringement and censorship, Uncut is a densely layered, delirious romp in which ideas are hurled at blistering speeds.

Perhaps Greyson's own words best describe the plot: "A grad student named Peter is obsessed with Pierre Trudeau. A grad student named Peter is perplexed by circumcision. A Jackson Five fan named Peter wants to break into broadcast. They meet. They make love. They make art. They get busted. (The cop sings opera)." After a series of strange and absurd misadventures, the three Peters end up in a desolate prison labour camp together. If this sounds bizarre, it is. Uncut will knock you out!
